Ian Mchaffie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is a suggestion for: > From: "Nick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Using Frozen Asparagus > Our asparagus, that we froze last season, is a bit mushy and I was > wondering if there are any recipes that would work with it? Thanks Asparagus does not usually freeze well, but it is important to blanch it very quickly before you freeze it. Blanching Asparagus. asparagus boiling water Place the asparagus in rapidly boiling water for about one minute. Remove and immediately plunge into icy cold water.. Drain and freeze quickly. When it is thawed, if can be used for Cream of Asparagus soup. Normal chicken stock base, thickened with flour, with milk or cream according to preference. Then chop the thawed asparagus and cook it in the soup. Finally puree the soup in the blender. Another possiblity is to steam the thawed asparagus to complete the cooking and then chop it up and put it in an omelet -- it dooesn't seem to matter that it is a bit mushy when it's in an omelet.
