4. Cheesy asparagus patties
As a side dish, these fried patties are extra-delicious. Use slightly crispy asparagus and breadcrumbs for the mixture, but don’t forget to add parmesan for the cheesiness factor.

5. Asparagus and three-cheese tart
If you like the distinct flavor and taste of asparagus, you should try this spring dish at least once a season. Our asparagus and three-cheese tart is enriched with fried bacon and blue cheese. Did we say once a season? You’ll want to have it at least once a week!

You’ll find a whole garden in this rich vegetarian soup. It has celery, carrot, asparagus, tomatoes, onion, and rice. To these flavors add a bit of hotness with peppercorn, pepper, curry, and chili flakes. Flavor it more by dropping a few bay leaves into the mixture and enjoy it on a gloomy day.
