Simmered White Asparagus with Sea Urchin and Onsen Eggs

White asparagus is a tasty seasonal vegetable that grows in spring. The most famous varieties are from France. Thick and rich, white asparagus need not be just a side dish, it can make an exquisite main dish, vegetarian style. This white asparagus simmered in dashi is juicy and appetizing.


ホワイトアスパラガスの煮浸し

春を代表する野菜のひとつにホワイトアスパラガスがあります。フランス産が特に有名ですが、一本一本がとても肉厚で、それだけでメインになりうる高級食材です。しっかりとお出汁を含んだホワイトアスパラは、ひとくちで口の中が陽気な幸せに包まれます。
