GREEN ASPARAGUS

It's Spargelsaison in Deutschland.

Everybody is supposed to prefer the white stuff, but if you like a change, char some green asparagus. Fry it at high heat without any oil or butter in a heavy bottomed pan, until it begins to burn a little (about 10m). Then you turn off the heat, splash over olive oil, crunchy salt and fresh ground pepper, and you have a BBQ style tasty appetiser without the hassle.
