did you know that Germans have a fifth season and that is called the asparagus season or in German and that is when everybody oo and a over white asparagus White asparagus is actually the more common type of asparagus in Germany The green asparagus is somewhat of a newer occurrence It can be a little bit challenging to find here in the United States but if and when you do it is so worth trying to make it at home And in this video I’m going to share exactly how you can make the most out of this really delicate super delicious and healthy vegetable Obviously you want your asparagus your spag to be as fresh as possible when you buy it And sometimes I find it at the market and I’m worried that it might not be there the next day and I buy it but I’m not quite ready to make something with it And that’s why I put it in some water and keep it in the refrigerator until the next day Ideally you want to make it the day that you buy it from your grocery store The next line of business item of business here is peeling the asparagus And the asparagus that I found and I’m always happy when I find asparagus I don’t necessarily am choosy here because in Germany I would be a lot more picky But I need to peel these really skinny spears and I use my vegetable peeler In German we actually call it or sometimes we’ll call it shayla which basically means that you peel asparagus with it And you can hold it in your hand but with those thin spears they tend to break a little bit more easy And that’s why I personally like to put it on a cutting board like this and then keep it straight so I’m not bending the asparagus spears And ultimately it doesn’t matter so much but they just look prettier on a plate when they’re whole and not breaking up And as you can see the thin ones there’s a lot of peel here but the peel is really woody and you want to peel them as much as you can Then I have them in a large pot over medium heat And in my kettle I am boiling some water And that’s going to go right over the asparagus And I could have put the boiling water in the pot and then added the asparagus but I did it this way around To make the asparagus more flavorful I’m adding some butter lemon juice and some salt The lemon juice helps cut through the bitterness a little bit because white asparagus can be not really bitter but have a very slight bitterness and a little bit of sugar to bring out the sweetness This is a very delicate vegetable and I find that these three spices really make a big difference in bringing out all the flavors You want to check it for dness usually 15 minutes or so And remember the full recipes are in the description box below And you want to make sure those spears are tender but not so much that they lose their shape You can see how I am trying to remove them from the pot And there’s a reason why I’m doing it this way instead of just draining out the water which you’ll see in a moment And they are holding their shape but they’re tender to the bite which is absolutely perfect You don’t want them to fall apart or lose their shape because then they just get mushy and they’re just not quite as delicious Here are my asparagus peels And this is why I didn’t drain out the water and I’m adding them back to the cooking water because I want to make another recipe with this which is later in this video So stay tuned for that It’s really the making the most out of the peels and the woody ends and not getting anything bringing anything to waste I have a little bit of butter here Actually quite a bit of butter This is one of my favorite ways to serve asparagus by spooning some melted butter You can also brown the butter if you like that flavor I think the regular melted butter is just perfect And then some breadrumbs for just a little bit of added texture and just to make it look a little bit more healthy and a little pop of color Some parsley And here is my favorite way with some ham and boiled potatoes And my family also likes the German schnitle Now here is what I’m going to make with the asparagus peels Now I am draining the cooking water I let the peeled sit in it overnight and I’m going to make asparagus soup with it or some people call it cream of asparagus soup or cream zupa zupa All of those work well And I need to drain that And then I’m going to make the base for it with some butter and some flour And that really really depends on how thick you want your soup to be and how much water you have In the recipe below I’m talking about a quart and a quarter or something like that And for the base you want to cook it a little bit before you add the asparagus water And I always like to go in stages by just adding a little bit and whisking it quite vigorously And even if it looks lumpy in the beginning trust the process because once it starts cooking the flour butter mixture swells up a little bit and then you can add a little bit more So I go in stages and just add the cooking water over time You can determine how much you want to add depending on how thick it is or you can use a little bit more flour and butter if you like your soup to be a little bit thicker or thinner So you can kind of adjust it to your preference To make it a little bit more flavorful I love to add some buon I have this buon concentrate but you can use any regular bouan or you can just simply use some salt I like to add a splash of lemon juice Again that brings out the brightness in this recipe A little bit of salt and you just taste it as you go and add as much or as little as you like And it sits on my wire whisk instead of in the soup Then to make it a little bit more fancy I like to either add some dry white wine or I only had some sparkling wine for some reason so I thought “Oh yeah you know I’ll do that.” If you cook it for a little bit it will lose its alcohol If you don’t like that then you just add it at the very end And then just a little bit of sugar to make the taste a little bit rounder And I love using sour cream instead of heavy cream But heavy cream whipping cream works just as well if you have only that And since I did have some spears of asparagus left from the night before I don’t know how that happened but I did have You can also save some because this soup looks particularly pretty if you add some asparagus pieces And I like to cut them in smaller pieces because you know a soup is a little harder to eat when you have these long asparagus pieces on your spoon And the asparagus tips are always the most delicate I love to have fancy soup bowls Actually it’s easier with all the dripage here to serve it right into the soup bowl rather than on the little saucer And yeah this makes really This is such a delicate flavor and it is such a fancy soup or appetizer for any meal You could serve it before your asparagus or as an appetizer for any other recipe Thank you so much for watching I hope you enjoyed this Let me know if you have any questions or comments and I’ll see
