asparagus experiments

For the first time i am putting together a 5 course asparagus based menu. Always loved this vegetable but never fully explored its potential. For example, the idea of using asparagus for dessert never really crossed my mind. Recently while exploring asparagus recipes i watched some old Japanese Iron Chef episodes. Of course the ice cream maker came out which led to this recipe which i recently churned out.

1 cup soymilk, unsweetened with no additives of any. Just beans and water
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup maple syrup
dash sea salt
1 tbsp kudzu

Place the above ingredients in a high speed blender. Blend on high till it thickens, getting hot enough to activate the starch.
Add to the blender:
1 cup roasted, pureed asparagus
2 cups soymilk, unsweetened with no additives of any. Just beans and water
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves
2 tsp vanilla extract

blend till smooth. Transfer to ice cream maker and churn away.

What better to serve ice cream with than with something hot out of the frier! Asparagus donuts.... to be continued
