Asparagus is a wonderful vegetable and just needs a little bit of flavor to make it taste perfect. I have never tried slow cooking it and I would have the apprehensions that you had too. Normally for me they get stood up in a pan of water so the tips get steamed and the tougher base gets boiled. Beautiful pics again!

Thank you. I'm glad you feel comfortable here. I've worked hard to create a food blog where readers feel welcome and entertained, yet leave feeling they've learned something new...whether it be an idea, tip, method, recipe or resource. All the better when they feel at-ease enough to leave comments and get involved as well! Hayley - 2 hours---I know, that's exactly what I thought when I discovered this recipe in Food & Wine. I wouldn't trade my everyday way of cooking asparagus for this one, but it sure was fun to try! Lydia - I think I spoke those<em> exact</em> words when I first learned about this method. Lorraine - The recipe is very easy to prepare, and in my opinion, turns out similar to steamed asparagus---tasty & evenly cooked. Honestly, I think it's the cream sauce you prepare using the cooking juices that puts this particular recipe over the top (the flavors are fantastic since the asparagus cooks inside a parchment wrapper). Grace - Not everyone likes asparagus, I know that. But personally, if I had to choose just one vegetable to live on for the rest of my life---asparagus may well be it. It's just so darn versatile :) Now...if someone could find a way to get rid of the lingering after-effects (if you know what I mean). Bunny – That is a very sweet thing for you to say. Thank you.

I've never heard of slow cooking asparagus! I guess I assumed it would take on the texture of tinned asaparagus or something. Thanks for the recipe-what is it like? This is so interesting Sandie!
