- Rinse the white asparagus very well. You can make a good stock from asparagus peels, so save them for cooking later.
- Peel the outer skin from the tips to the bottom. The skin around the tips is tender, so start to peel 2 cm below the tips to the bottom.
- Tip: You don't want the tough skin to ruin your dish. Peel the skin to a depth that will completely remove it. Cut off about 2 cm from the bottom of the stems because they are tough.
- Put the water, seasonings and white asparagus, including the trimmings, in a pot. Bring to a boil. Do not forget to put in the bottom parts you cut off.
- Tip - In Germany, you can find a special asparagus pot (I don't have it), but you can use a normal pot. Cook the asparagus so that the bottom parts are always under the water.
- It takes roughly 10 minutes, but it differs according to the size and thickness of your stalks. Check how they are by eating the 2-cm at the end of the stem (it might be bitter…).
