      I don't have any asparagus recipes but I do have a question. Years ago I worked with a beautiful lady who was Italian and for our Christmas party she brought several recipes but one that knocked my socks off was Bagna càuda.. I couldn't stay out of it!! It was warm and the bread we were dipping was homemade and I got hooked. I haven't had it since but wondered what your take on it is and do you like it? Thank you both. You're a delight every single video!♥️

    My father always loved asparagus frittata! I remember my mom cooking it a lot for him for lunch, especially at springtime. As a child, I always thought it was weird, so I never tried it and now I feel like I missed out! I think I'll make it for my Dad to surprise him once spring comes around (so I can get some fresh asparagus 🤤). Thanks for the inspiration!

  • @diocanaja
    @diocanaja Год назад +41

    I'm from Milan and to me, the most natural pairing with asparagus has always been eggs (excluding frittata of course cause that's everywhere in italy). A common antipasto here (when it's in season at least) is baked, pan fried or steamed asparagus served with some very soft and runny scrambled eggs made a bagnomaria and loaded with grana and butter. It's also common to add a thin egg drizzle on top of asparagus risotto, I used to think this was a common tradition all over italy (or at least in the north) but when I told people from Bergamo, literally half an hour away, they looked at me like I was from another planet and acted like asparagus with scrambled eggs was a culinary capital sin

      I love asparagus any way you prepare it. I could never become bored by it. But I’ve never had asparagus as a component in Italian cooking. I don’t why, it seems obvious to me now. The first one with the layers of cheese topped by bread crumbs was my favourite. Your dishes made cooking with asparagus look even more fantastic. Thank you for opening my eyes🙏🏻

    One of my favorite memories from childhood is eating asparagus and onion frittata sandwiches at the beach. My grandmother would always make them or zucchini and onion sandwiches if asparagus was out of season. These sandwiches were perfect beach food because they were moist and delicious! Of course they always had pecorino romano cheese in them too. My Grandmother was from Bugnara in Abruzzi and we never had any other cheese in our house. My favorite quiche is asparagus, onions, swiss cheese and bacon!

    My mother was Sicilian and with the same ingredients as the frittata, she would make “ polpette.” They were first fried then put in tomato sauce like meatballs. Then we would have them as a second course to pasta.
    They would also appear on the table for Easter, my Nonno would make them. They were very good. I will try the frittata version!

    Eggs and asparagus are a match made in heaven. My favourite omlette by far is an asparagus and onion omlette. Another way of using asparagus for me is for a simple sauce for ravioli. I lightly fry bany asparagi in butter (stems before spearheads as Eva does) with some chives, and it results in a beautiful, very quick meal that looks straight out of a michelin restaurant menu

    This was really interesting to me, and has taught me something new! When I learned to make a frittata, I was taught that it always contained sliced potatoes & whatever vegetables + cheese and was cooked on the stovetop, and that a strata was always made with bread & whatever vegetables + cheese and I thought it could be cooked either on the stovetop or in the oven. Watching you Eva, made me do some digging for clarification. Apparently it's the method of cooking that makes the difference: frittata is on the stovetop & the strata is in the oven, and does have a bread component. Potato is NOT a requirement for a frittata(!) and can include bread. THANK-YOU for helping me to learn something new! My favorite frittata is the asparagus one much like yours, but of course - until now, mine always included potato!

    Then i add the cream to the pasta (penne for the sweet cream or bucatini for the flavoured one) [mantecando il tutto].
    When served i add the asparagus' tips to every plate.

    Ciao Eva, prova a frullare la parte di asparagi che scarti in un litro di acqua e poi usa l’acqua calda (filtrata) per il risotto, senza altra verdura. Ne guadagna il sapore e il risotto acquisirà un colore verde chiaro particolarmente gradevole. Le punte le puoi cuocere direttamente dentro il risotto, 3-4 minuti prima di spengere il fuoco. Rimarranno croccanti e contrasteranno il morbido del risotto. Il resto della ricetta è come la fai te.
    Ti consiglio vivamente di provare i pici toscani con guanciale, pecorino e asparagi. Taglia il guanciale come se dovessi fare la gricia, friggi, leva il guanciale fritto e nell’olio del guanciale cuoci gli asparagi a pezzettini. Cala i pici In acqua bollente e scolali al dente dentro la salta pasta con gli asparagi cotti nell’olio. Manteca la pasta con il pecorino e un po’ di acqua di pasta per fare la crema e infine aggiungi i pezzettini croccanti di guanciale. qui a Roma abbiamo cominciato a diffonderla ed è una libidine.
