HUNGRY GERALD

It’s asparagus season in PEI! Asparagus is HG ‘s favorite vegetable (Broccoli and zucchini are contenders). BSK does wonderful things with asparagus. Tucks them into a “baveuse” omelet. Adds them to risotto. Stirs them into spaghetti with olive oil, garlic and lemon juice (A tasty sofrito). Cuts asparagus into sections for an Asian stir fry. HG’s favorite: Steamed to crunchy tenderness and doused with melted butter and lemon juice. That’s how BSK made them last night much to HG’s delight. They were accompanied by crisp fried haddock and sheet pan French fries. Remoulade sauce enhanced the fish. Life’s good in Canada’s smallest province–Prince Edward Island.
