I loaded the cart with about four pounds of asparagus and started thinking about the various things that can be made with it.

The kids love it so much that they might not mind having it daily. Now that is a guess since I have never fed the same thing even twice in a row. But I can feel it when I see their faces light up when it is pasta rather than the...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/11/tomatillo-pasta-with-asparagus.html/feed 5 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/05/asparagus-peanut-fry.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/05/asparagus-peanut-fry.html#comments Wed, 22 May 2013 05:49:17 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=11298 I have never seen or heard of asparagus while in India and the scaly and woody appearance was not inviting either. The lack of Indian vegetables in our place made us finally give in and buy asparagus. The first dish I made was sambar and it was not up to the mark.

I have never heard of asparagus while in India and after coming to the US, I was pretty much forced to try it out due to the limited vegetables available in my area. The lower portion of the stalks are woody, so avoid adding...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/03/asparagus-tofu-fry.html/feed 1
