    Great to see you back in the kitchen! I hope your recovery is going well. Thanks for the onion trick - that's a new one for me.
    I have to agree on the blackened grilled asparagus. They're my fave. Broiling them also approximates this style. I'm also a big fan of the sauteed, cut on a bias. But that's a little tough for you right now!

    This is my 1st time to see how asparagus looks in their environment and not in the grocery store. I didn't even know you can just eat it without cooking it. I'm learning to cook via RUclips. My next project is cooking asparagus. I like how you included different ways of cooking it in one video and not 3 separate ones. I'm leaning towards the 2nd one, which I assume you didn't blanch the asparagus before cutting it up. Thanks!

    • @thatdudecancook
      @thatdudecancook  5 лет назад

      mytube92369 yeah they vary a lot as it’s a short season and then they’re coming from elsewhere in the world and aren’t as good. You could always blanch and not shock with ice water, guess that would be boiled asparagus... grilled is my favorite!
