Spring
ASPARAGUS
CARROTS
STRAWBERRIES
Asparagus
FRESH PRODUCE PRIMER
Asparagus
SELECT
Look for asparagus with smooth skin, uniform color, and a dry, compact tip.
STORE
To extend freshness, wrap them in damp paper towels for several days or refrigerate stalks, tips up, in a cup of shallow water. Don’t freeze fresh asparagus.
PREPARE
Snap fibrous ends from asparagus spears. Cook asparagus as is, or peel the skin with a vegetable peeler to make the stalks more tender.
COOK
Boil, steam, grill, roast, or sauté for a few minutes until crisp-tender.
Asparagus Mimosa
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
HANDS-ON TIME 10 MIN.
TOTAL TIME 10 MIN.
Trim 1 lb. fresh asparagus; cook in boiling salted water to cover 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Plunge into ice water; drain. Toss with 1 tsp. cider vinegar, 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, ⅛ tsp. kosher salt, and ⅛ tsp. freshly ground black pepper. Place on a serving platter; top with 1 grated hard-cooked egg, 2 Tbsp. sautéed finely diced spicy smoked sausage, and 1 tsp. chopped fresh chives. Serve with hot sauce.
Fettuccine-and-Asparagus al Burro
MAKES 3 TO 4 SERVINGS
HANDS-ON TIME 30 MIN.
TOTAL TIME 30 MIN.
Al burro means with butter.
This simple sauce is a more authentic version of today’s popular Alfredo, which calls for whipping cream. Buy a high-quality cheese—it makes a difference.
1 lb. fresh thin asparagus
4 to 6 oz. thick pancetta slices, diced
1 (9-oz.) package refrigerated fettuccine
2 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
½ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
¼ tsp. table salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Toppings: shaved Parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper
1. Cut asparagus into ½-inch diagonal pieces, discarding tough ends.
2. Sauté pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat 5 minutes or until crisp; remove from skillet.
3. Cook fettuccine and asparagus in boiling salted water to cover 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup pasta water.
4. Melt butter with oil in skillet over medium heat; add hot cooked pasta and asparagus, cheese, and next 3 ingredients. Toss to coat, adding enough reserved pasta water to make a glossy sauce. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with pancetta. Serve immediately with desired toppings.
Note: We tested with Buitoni All Natural Fettuccine.
Roasted Orange-Ginger Asparagus
MAKES 6 TO 8 SERVINGS
HANDS-ON TIME 15 MIN.
TOTAL TIME 30 MIN.
2 lb. fresh asparagus
¼ cup orange juice
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. table salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
Garnishes: orange zest, chopped fresh basil
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus; place asparagus on a lightly greased baking sheet. Whisk together orange juice, olive oil, and next 4 ingredients; drizzle mixture over asparagus, tossing to coat.
2. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or to desired degree of tenderness, turning once after 8 minutes.
EDITOR’S TIP
Plant asparagus in late winter or early spring. Pick a sunny spot where it can stay permanently. Dig a trench 10 inches deep and a foot wide. Fill the bottom with 4 inches of compost. Spread the roots over the compost, and then cover with 2 inches of good soil. As the young plants grow, gradually fill in the trench, being careful to cover the growing tips.
Carrots
FRESH PRODUCE PRIMER
carrots
SELECT
Choose carrots that are firm and brightly colored, avoiding ones that are cracked.
STORE
Remove tops, if attached; place carrots in plastic bags, and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
PREPARE
Wash and cut carrots into sticks for dipping and eating, or shred them to add to salads or slaw.
COOK
You can steam, braise, sauté, bake, or microwave your carrots. Add them to soups and stews, or serve them as a side dish.
Baby Carrot Soup
MAKES 5 cups
HANDS-ON TIME 10 min.
TOTAL TIME 45 min.
Smoky adobo sauce gives this creamy soup a subtle touch of heat.
Artful Garnish Stir together about 1 Tbsp. reduced-fat sour cream and 2 tsp. water; drizzle over soup, and swirl with a wooden pick. Top with chives and chopped chile peppers, if you wish. For crunch, top with veggie chips, such as Terra Stix Original Chips.

1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 (16-oz.) package baby carrots
⅓ cup half-and-half
1 tsp. table salt
Toppings: chopped fresh chives, chopped dried chile peppers, reduced-fat sour cream
1. Remove 2 tsp. adobo sauce from can; reserve peppers and remaining sauce for another use.
2. Sauté onion in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in broth, carrots, and 2 tsp. adobo sauce; cover, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove from heat, and let cool 10 minutes.
3. Process carrot mixture in a blender or food processor 1 minute or until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Return carrot mixture to Dutch oven. Stir in half-and-half and salt. Cook over low heat 2 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve with desired toppings.
