How to quickly prepare asparagus?
Choosing asparagus
1. Choose fresh asparagus. They should be firm and bright green. The ends should be tightly gathered.
2. Asparagus can be thick or thin. Thicker asparagus takes a little longer to cook, but both types are equally tasty and nutritious.
3. Regardless of which one you choose, the asparagus should be about the same size.
Cleaning asparagus
4. Clean the asparagus by rinsing well under cold running water, gently rubbing the tips to remove any dirt, sand or impurities.
Drying the asparagus
5. After rinsing, dry them with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel.
Breaking asparagus
6. Use your hands to break off asparagus or a knife to cut off the bottom third of each asparagus.
It is usually about 2.5 to 3.8 cm (1 to 1.5 inches) long.
7. Discard the broken off lower parts. Those parts are very woody and generally not very tasty.
8. You can approximately determine the correct place for breaking by slightly bending the stalk several times at the bottom. It will just break.
Peeling asparagus
9. Use a vegetable peeler to remove any rough scales or ridges from the outside of each stem.
10. This is not necessary, but it gives the asparagus a neater appearance. This is also particularly useful if you are using thick asparagus spears.
11. You only need to peel the bottom section of the asparagus—about 5 cm (2 inches).
How to clean and prepare asparagus in 3 ways?
AA) Rinsing under running water
AB) Briefly blanching
AC) Peeling with a veggie peeler
AA) Washing asparagus under cold running water.
Washing fresh asparagus
1. Remove the rubber band holding the asparagus stalks together.
2. Turn on the cold water and rinse the asparagus.
3. Pay special attention to rinsing the thinner end, where sand and dirt can easily get trapped. If the asparagus looks very dirty, you can use your fingers to remove any sand or debris.
4. You can also wash the stalks individually to remove dirt.
Snapping off the ends of fresh asparagus
5. Place the cleaned asparagus on your work surface.
6. Take one asparagus stalk and hold it by the middle with one hand. With your other hand, grasp the tough end of the stalk. Gently bend the stalk downwards so that the tough end snaps off.
7. Snap the ends off all the washed asparagus stalks.
8. If using thick asparagus, you may need to snap off several centimeters (about 5 cm) from the bottom of the stalk.
9. For thinner asparagus, cutting off just about 2.5 cm (1 inch) might be sufficient.
Wiping fresh asparagus
10. Arrange the washed asparagus in one layer on a clean kitchen towel.
11. Cover the asparagus with another kitchen towel and gently rub over them.
Use of fresh asparagus
12. Washed and prepared fresh asparagus can be used immediately as a side dish, in addition to salads, for soups and chowders, pasta and risotto, filling for pies and omelets, addition to sandwiches and rolls, for filling tortillas, as an ingredient in vegetable mixes.
Storing asparagus
13. You can store cleaned asparagus in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
14. Wrap the cut ends of fresh asparagus in a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
15. Place the bunch of asparagus upright in the jar so that the wet towel is at the bottom.
16. Put it in the fridge.
AB) Cleaning asparagus by short blanching
Quick blanching
1. Heat the water in a pot to boiling on high heat (6 of 6).
2. Soak fresh asparagus in boiling water. Use kitchen tongs to hold a few stems. Drop the asparagus into the boiling water and keep it that way for a few seconds.
3. Remove the fresh asparagus from the boiling water and repeat the process with the remaining asparagus.
4. Put the fresh asparagus in a colander and put it in the sink. Rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve their bright color.
Wiping fresh asparagus
5. Gently wipe the asparagus with a clean kitchen towel.
You can find out how to use and store fresh asparagus in step AA 12) and 13).
AC) Peeling fresh asparagus with a vegetable peeler
Washing fresh asparagus
1. Wash the asparagus in cold water and make sure that the particles of soil or sand are completely washed away from the tender tips of the stems.
Wiping fresh asparagus
2. Wipe the fresh asparagus gently with a kitchen towel.
Peel with vegetable peeler
3. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the asparagus. Peel each stem from the base of the soft tip to the hard end.
4. Avoid peeling the soft top that you have already washed.
5. Remove only the thin, outer layer of the asparagus, or you may remove too much of the stem.
6. Repeat for all fresh asparagus.
Breaking the ends of fresh asparagus
7. Break off the hard ends. Press the asparagus stalk down so that the hard end breaks off where the woody end meets the soft part of the asparagus.
8. Break off the ends from all the cleaned asparagus.
Storing peeled fresh asparagus
9. How to store, you have in step AA 13).
Use of fresh peeled asparagus
10. You can use fresh asparagus prepared in this way in recipes that require soft asparagus.
11. Avoid putting them on the grill.
12. You can fry them or bake them in the oven.

Kako brzo pripremiti spargle?
Odabir spargli
1. Odaberite sveze špargle. Trebaju biti čvrste i jarko zelene. Vrhovi treba da budu čvrsto skupljeni.
2. Spargle mogu biti debele ili tanke. Debljim sparglama treba malo više vremena za kuvanje, ali su obe vrste podjednako ukusne i hranljive.
3. Bez obzira na to koje odaberete, spargle treba da budu približno iste veličine.
Ciscenje spargli
4. Očistite špargle tako što ćete ih dobro isprati pod hladnom vodom iz cesme, blago trljajući vrhove kako biste uklonili svu prljavštinu, pesak ili nečistoće.
Brisanje spargli
5. Nakon ispiranja, osušite ih papirnim ubrusom ili cistom kuhinjskom krpom.
Lomljemje spargli
6. Rukama ili nožem odlomite donju trećinu svake spargle.
Obično je to dužina od oko 2,5 do 3,8 cm (1 do 1,5 inča).
7. Bacite odlomljene donje delove. Ti krajevi su veoma drvenasti i uglavnom nisu baš ukusni.
8. Pravilno mesto za lomljenje možete otprilike odrediti tako što ćete blago saviti izdanak nekoliko puta pri dnu. Samo ce da pukne.
Ljuscenje spargli
9. Koristite ljuštilicu za povrće da uklonite grube ljuspice ili izbočine sa spoljne strane svake stabljike.
10. Ovo nije neophodno, ali daje sparglama uredniji izgled. Takođe je posebno korisno ako koristite deblje špargle.
11. Potrebno je oljuštiti samo donji deo spargle oko 5 cm (2 inča).
Kako očistiti i pripremiti špargle na 3 načina?
AA) Pranjem pod mlazom vode
AB) Kratkim blanširanjem
AC) Ljuštenjem
AA) Pranje špargli pod mlazom hladne vode.
Pranje svezih spargli
1. Uklonite gumicu koja drži stabljike spargli zajedno.
2. Pustite hladnu vodu i isperite špargle.
3. Posebno dobro isperite tanji kraj, gde se pesak i nečistoće mogu lako zadržati. Ako špargle deluju veoma prljavo, možete prstima ukloniti pesak ili nečistoće.
4. Takođe možete prati stabljike pojedinačno kako biste uklonili prljavštinu.
Lomljenje krajeva svezih spargli
5. Savite očišćene špargle na radnu površinu.
6. Uzmite jednu stabljiku špargle i držite je za sredinu jednom rukom. Drugom rukom uhvatite tvrdi kraj stabljike. Nežno savijte stabljiku na dole tako da se tvrdi kraj odlomi.
7. Odlomite krajeve sa svih opranih špargli.
8. Ako koristite debele špargle, možda ćete morati da odlomite nekoliko centimetara (oko 5 cm) sa donjeg dela stabljike.
9. Kod tanjih špargli možda će biti dovoljno odseći samo oko 2,5 cm (1 inč).
Brisanje svezih spargli
10. Rasporedite oprane špargle u jednom sloju na čistu kuhinjsku krpu.
11. Prekrijte špargle drugom kuhinjskom krpom i nežno protrljajte preko njih.
