竹笋 the first time I saw green and white Spargel in Germany, it reminded me of the bamboo shoots. They grow the whole year, but the spring and winter bamboo shoots are the best. Bamboo shoots are not only daily cooked but also pickled and preserved for a long time .
Hi Max, thank you for this recipe. Today i am trying it. By the way, my husband is German, and he does not like white asparagus! I am from Turkey, i did not know asparagus before moving to Germany but i really like it 🤪 and a vegetable which we eat especially in summer a lot in Turkey is Ocra. It is not known in Germany, but i strongly suggest it ☺ LG
@Limon Kolonyası Ocra is definitely worth a try! Another typical turkish vegetable that is not well known here is is Purslane (Semizotu). Tastes very good with cucumber and fresh yoghurt served as a salad.🌿
@DAvid Tissera It does not really matter actually. The asparagus becomes softer during the cooking process and therefore can no longer stand "upright" in the pot anyway. If you still want to cook it upright: make sure you bundle it up!
When you do the white asparagus you serve it with, potatoes or ham. What else can I serve it with. Around 5.30pm, none are great wine drinkers, actually they prefer half dry which I dislike.
Belgian white asparagus come in 4 different sizes: A (16-20mm), B (12-16mm), AA (20-28mm sold most) and AAA (>28 mm, restaurant quality). They all have different cooking times. 10 min is most definitely not far too long for any kind. It might be for green asparagus.
@@meurteltje maybe for AAA, the best I can find here in the states is about 22mm unfortunately. I miss european asparagus season, the best asparagus I ever had was at my grandmas house in Utrecht. I really miss it.
When I first tasted Asparagus (at 21 years old on vacation), I thouhgt I had a problem with my kidneys afterwards because I did not know that it makes your pee smell veeery bad😂😂
fun fact: only people with a specific gene variant produce stinky asparagus pee. fun fact 2: only people with a specific, different gene variant are able to smell stinky asparagus pee
@@ahimmeroder5817 brown butter and bread crumbs is more a Northeast German way of serving aspargus. No wonder, Max knows it from the Berlin region. You would find this with other vegetables like caulifloer or black salsifies there, too. The bread crumbs can also be replaces by shaved almonds if you want be more fancy. In my northestern region white aspargus woulde be serve with the brown breadcrumb butter, boilded salted potatoes and a schnitzel.
I tried this white asparagus for the first time this year and it was disgusting. Not the flavor, but the consistency, horrible. And this butter and breadcrumb mixture on it only makes it worse. Will never eat this again in my life.
My absolute favorite veg. I remember the long days on my grandfather’s farm getting the white gold out of the ground.

You can find the complete recipe and cooking method in the description. Bon appetit!
I like those simple but delicious dishes. One or two ingredients but maximize its taste.
My boyfriend is belgian and he loved your recipe (I just cooked it :)) thanks!
And you Bulgarian?
Thanks for share a recipe! I will find out white asparagus in Thailand! The dish look yummy 🤤

It's known, but certainly not common.

I love white asparagus!!!
Sieht echt lecker aus bei dir. Schade, dass die Saison schon vorbei ist. Grüße von der Beelitzer Spargelstraße.
I come from Germany and i Love
White Asparagus. Jimmy😋😋
Suggestion from a neighbour from the west side: If you use a cheese slicer to peel then you only have to peel one time and it is always right.
Looks awesome I’ve only seen green asparagus in SA is there a taste different
Yes, white asparagus tastes very different than the green one. It's not so common in other countries while you'll find it everywhere in Germany.
@@DWFood...and France!
Yummy!
I think we can cook a pasta with those asparagus peels. Bacon and asparagus Delish.
no sauce hollondaise?
Thanks for this recipe! Do you add in cold water and bring to a boil or do you add in boiling water to the pan with the asparagus?
Cool
Max is crazy good-looking.
*blushing*
My friend a spargel topf and he stood the spargel boiled them. Was that correct?.

I’m watching this video because my German wife found white asparagus at the store
Young bamboo is similar imo
2:34 I feeled sorry for you
Where is the ham?
10mins is FAR too long for any kind of asparagus.
5-6 mins max, I prefer 4 minutes.

@@SoftSemtexstop being dramatic. Toilets are private spaces. No one you need to win an election of job is smelling down there.
You grew up in Berlin? Why do you have a British accent? Maybe you moved there after you turned 9 then.

Germans?
Crazy?
On which planet?
Incidentally, in Poland, they're very keen on their raw wódka.
I live in Germany and I have never heard white asparagus topped with a butter and bread crumb sauce
@Angela Hammeroder But now you have heard about it! 😉
Might be a northern thingy, we eat it with a nice home made sauce holondaise, ham and potato down here in the south.
@@DWFood nope, live in the North/west of Germany and never heard of it
@@jonasduell9953 I’m in Northwestern Germany and also eat it with Hollandaise sauce, boiled potatoes and ham

This made me laugh soooo hard because that’s exactly how I felt about Spargel too!!
Too much talking bro. Get to the cooking.
No, it’s great!
@@hofhofandaway yes of course.
