Creamy Asparagus Omelette
Tip for the creamy asparagus omelette recipe: Wild asparagus, however, unlike cultivated ones, need more time for cooking.
Therefore, eliminate a good part of the asparagus stems.
You can also use cultivated asparagus that require more time for cooking.
Among the most used cooking methods for asparagus is to preferably use steaming, which retains a higher quantity of all nutrients.
Some people use to tie them together as a bundle, after cutting the ends, and cook them in tall and narrow pots, leaving them immersed in little water with the tips facing upwards. It is almost steaming as the tips, even if not touching the water, soften with the heat. COME CHECK OUT ALSO ON PINTEREST THE RECOVERING COOK
