I'm actually curious as to how you'd cook them otherwise? Grilled is kinda meh cause you can't let it soak in a buttery juice unless you use a pan but then that's just awkward on a bbq or are you talking about in the oven? That sounds even worse tbh... I like my asparagus to have a specific texture, not too soggy not too crisp/dry.


The most popular way to prepare asparagus in germany (the most asparagus crazed country in the world) is to simply cook it. It's then traditionally served with either clearified butter or sauce hollandaise together with boiled potatoes, wet-cured ham (prosciutto cotto) and minced parsley.

Yeah it’s the just cook it part we’re discussing. Do Germans fry it in a pan? I’m guessing they do based on the description.

With "cook it" he means boiling it in a pot of water. We actually have a special pan for this

I've never seen or heard of one of these asparagus boilers but it looks like it does the job for a number of servings....

For two, I place my asparagus in a fry-pan with about an inch (20mm) of water bought to a boil, sometimes adding a little salt if I feel the need. On plating, I squeeze fresh lemon juice over and if I didn't add salt earlier, I might sprinkle coarse (rocky) table salt over too for the 'effect' but it simply must be served with a crispiness.

Nope. Boiling in boiling water.
No pan at all here.

Yeah I'm open to trying things so I'm not ruling it out but generally speaking I do not like my asparagus boiled with water at all. I put it in a frying pan with generous amounts of butter, salt and pepper or whatever seasoning you prefer and I fry it on a medium/low setting turning often. I kinda want to get some asparagus now.

I like frying them in left over bacon grease... I can't remember the last time I had soup of any kind.

Re: Are you into cooking, me, well I am knocking together a One Pan Lasagne or lasanga tonight.

Got to love the spelling differences about the globe.

Anyway, here's a recipe I'll base my effort on. I'll add basil in lieu of the baby spinach and omit the grated carrot.

Grated carrot? I've never tried here. Guess I should accept the challenge one day.

I'll accompany with a warmed bread and a glass of imported French Rosé wine. It must be good :D

Carrot has a bit of a sweet taste. While I do like the taste of carrot, I don't like it in my pasta dishes either.

This is the video in question, I do the 50 minute version, it's fucking fantastic. Really important to elevate the steak so it's not sitting directly on the baking sheet.

You couldn't get your lips around that and it just has to be a knife & fork job surely.

Ingredients look like any other unless you have a 'special sauce' or ingredient and I must ask, the patties, are they beef or another meat?

My sausages (posted above) weren't bad at all and yes, you could taste the fruitiness in a little way. I must look out for variants at the same deli :)

You gotta do 'the squish' after taking the photo, then it's a more reasonable size :)

Patties are beef mince, some salt/pepper, and squished flat as possible in the pan. Cook in about two minutes flat. I have no idea why this makes them taste so good but it does.
