Asparagus is really yummy when eaten raw but you can have these ribbons either raw or blanched. Use delicate asparagus ribbons to make salads, use as a garnish or even instead of spaghetti. Cucumber and carrot definitely aren’t the only options for ribbons!!

FOUR SIMPLE STEPS TO DELICIOUS!

  1. Trim the asparagus of any hard ends.
  2. Lay the spears out on a chopping board and using a peeler, peel down the length to create ribbons.
  3. Turn over and peel the other side, this should leave you with the middle and the pretty purple tip, slice this down the centre.
  4. You can either use the ribbons raw or blanch for 1-2 minutes until soften and green.
