An interesting preparation method for white (and green) asparagus that you describe. We are still waiting for the first fresh white and green asparagus of the year in germany. Long winter…

I’m curious about how white asparagus tastes with the roasted garlic.

Thank you for your feedback!

I rather like a marinade of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper with either fresh (for green asparagus) or roasted garlic (for white). Allow to sit for the day or at least a few hours, then grill or roast. It is in my opinion important to get some brown of the asparagus without turning it to mush so I use at least 425F when roasting.

Hi Anna Rae!

well to describe the differences (not easy) in only some words: the green asparagus is much more hearty than the white asparagus. In German – not sure if you can translate this 1:1 – we say the asparagus has a light earthy but unique aroma. This aroma is in case of the white asparagus not so intense. The green asparagus has a harder consistency than the white asparagus.
To be honest, asparagus from spain has not a very high reputation in our household because of a severe lack of qualitiy.

Hope that helps you a little bit.
We are both University students and this blog is just our hobby but we are highly interested in cooking, healthy food etc.

Have a nice easter!

You and your questions are alyways welcome on our blog,

Yours
Kristin & Al

Hi! I am Anna Rae Gwarjanski, a writer and photographer for an American international travel magazine, Alpine Living. We’re featuring Spain in our next issue, and one of the stories I’m working on is on Spanish white asparagus. I read on your blog that you have cooked with white asparagus before, and I was hoping you could help me with my story by answering a few questions…

I know the difference between white and green asparagus is in how it is grown, but how does it taste different?

Is white asparagus common in any other areas besides the Navarre region of Spain?

Anything else you would like to add would be helpful as well!

Thank you,
Anna Rae

Hi Kristin and Alex,

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Just a glance at your site makes me excited to try out some German dishes. I have a few German and Austrian friends who have made me delicious food like strudel, knoedel, spatzle, and kaiserschmarrn. But I know there’s a whole lot more to German cuisine than just those dishes

Cheers,

Katina
