AsparagusFest 2010

Each year I like to trial a new asparagus dish...
This year its sushi. My mate Charlie came over on Friday and we had a few ingredients to play with. The resultant sushi we went for was a mix of asparagus, avocado, grated carrot, grated radish, philedelphia cheese and chives...
But last night I got excited and experimented. Crab and wild garlic were added to the mix with spectacular results (see pic)... I reckon a dry white - Alsace Muscat, Riesling or Pinot Blanc are ideal with asparagus - and sushi in particular. Am thinking of a kedgeree sushi too... Maybe a step to far but if you don't try you'll never know!

This year's preliminary menu is below...

Asp steamed (obviously)
Asp BBQed with a balsamic vinegrette
Asp roasted with garlic and parmesan
Asp Sushi
Asp Pommes Boulangere
Asp fritatta
Pasta salad with fennel, peppers, haloumi, cherry tomatoes, capers and of course...ASP!
