Mmm! Another great idea I saw recently is Savory Asparagus Bread Pudding over at 101 Cookbooks.

so awesome! I just posted on my blog today that I'm looking for a good asparagus recipe... now I have EIGHT! :) Thank you!

Here's another good asparagus recipe
Asparagus and Spaetzle with Beurre Blanc.

(Sorry to self-link, but this one is a keeper.)

You just can't go wrong with asparagus. these days, I just saute them with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Before that, I was adding dijjon mustard instead of the salt and red pepper flakes. Both are equally lovely.

You are missing one recipe that I came across last year and to this date - to me is the best and simplest way to enjoy green asparagus.

It's so simple it isn't even a recipe. You can get everything from your local organic food mart or market.

green asparagus
olive oil
sea salt
fresh italian parmesan
Serrano ham

Put asparagus in casserole pour olive oil on top and season with sea salt, then lay the Serrano on top. Put in preheated oven (same heat you would use for pizza or anything else) for approx. 10-15 mins (depending on how much asparagus you used)

Since I am german we use different stoves and different heating settings, but the "pizza setting" should be universal ;-))

Don't use the ground sea salt, use the "chunky" stuff. Before serving sprinkle parmesan shavings on top.

If you like it with sauce: use the olive oil from pan, pour some cream into it and stirr. Beware if you sprinkled too much salt on it, then the "sauce" will be inedible. So don't go overboard with the salt.

Eat pure like that or enjoy with boiled potatoes (best if you get new ones and boil them in their skin and have a little dab of creme fraiche with herbs on the side). Personally I like to sprinkle some paprika and salt on the potatoes.

Bon Appetit (Guten Appetit) :-)

Another nice one I just came across at a restaurant is a few tablespoons of lightly satueed red onions, capers, and a teensy bit of garlic over grilled asparagus and garnished with shavings of manchego cheese.

These are some yummy sounding recipes you have here.

eight?! wow. thanks. i keep saying to myself, "Self! Asparagus is in season... you simply must concoct something tasty with it, and soon!" -- if this can't get me inspired, I don't know what will! Love the photograph... like a fence in a way.

fire up the grill or broil it ... drench in olive oil, balsamic and pepper on top ...don't like balsamic ? try with parmesan ...
