Question

Bought precooked asparagus in a can what kind of recipes are out there?

Answer 1

Canned asparagus is pretty terrible:) .... It's overcooked, mushy and an ugly green color - and doesn't taste anything like fresh or frozen asparagus:) ....  You CAN drain & marinate it in some Italian-type dressing though, and serve it cold, in salads.   Don't waste your money on canned again, though.......

Answer 2

I buy the pieces and stems like with mushrooms and make both hot and cold soups, just blend them with dairy or soya milk, seasonings and warm or chill and serve with sour cream or soya yougart and chopped chive, even keep a few piece and chop them into the soup, the same blending and warming a bit of butter or margarine, parmesan cheese and cream or soya cheese and soya milk to thin and then tossed over whole wheat or semolina pasta with again some pieces cut up or I like rice pastas.

Even added to the stock for making risotto is nice and some added at the end for flavour with the final cheese and butte/margarine component. I am a former chef and now a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and like them for this, not much else you can do with them but the pieces and stems here in Canada at our Dollar store are 2 for $1.00 and I stock up when I can and keep a few on hand at all times.
