A hands on class exploring some of the delightful dishes we can make with asparagus.
Asparagus is a great vegetable for a drought ridden state such as California. This vegetable is ideal when dry farmed as a lot of water makes asparagus large and woody and fibrous. Less water yields and tender small, delightful vegetable.

Some of the dishes we will prepare are:
shaved asparagus salad
asparagus miso chowder
tempeh and asparagus with tamarind sauce
asparagus pakora
and more to be added

some techniques we will be employing are: blanching, roasting, deep frying, stir frying
