Tender ,fresh green asparagus
will be appearing on most local
markets this month. With warm
rains and bright sunshine, it pops
up as if by magic. Gardeners
must keep a sharp eye out for the
first signs of the tender tips
, peeping through the soil. From
then on it's a race to keep the
asparagus cut as it can grow from
eight to ten inches a day.
When you buy asparagus, look
for bright green bunches with
straight stalks and tightly closed
4. tips. Store unwashed and
untrimmed in a plastic bag in the
refrigerator, and use within one
. or two days. If used as a
vegetable along with the main
course, one pound of asparagus
will serve four. However, true
asparagus lovers will not be
satisfied with this amount. There-
fore, buy asparagus often and in
quantities to please your family.
And don't forget that a serving of
asparagus is an excellent ,source
of iron and vitamins A and C.
Before cooking, wash the stalks
carefully using a soft brush.
Break off each stalk as far down
as it will snap easily. Remove any
scales if sand has collected under
them. Because asparagus cooks
best in an upright position, stand
the stalks in about two inches of
boiling water in a deep covered
saucepan. This way the tender

Rhubarb
Like our first robin, rhubarb is
greeted as a. harbinger of spring.
It holds within its bright stalks the
promise of refreshing desserts, It
is just what is required to coax
lagging springtime appetites.
Spring rhubarb with its deep
red staks and tart flavour is
usually sold by the bunch. Look
for firm,, crisp and straight stalks
and use within a day or two.
Remove the leaves as they tend to.
draw moisture from the stalks and
cause them to wilt.
Rhubarb is so simple to freeze
you should put some away for
winter meals, It requires no
blanching and no sugar. Just
wash, trim, cut into one-inch
pieces and package in freezer
bags. It's a good idea to pack just
the right amount 'for a family
desert in each container, Freeze
four to five cups of cut rhubarb for
a pie or three cups to yield two
cups of cooked rhubarb or 4
servings. You can also freeze
rhubarb sauce. Cook it as usual
and cool it before freezing.
To many people, the rhubarb is
synonymous with pie. Whether it
is the popular two-crust type ,Or
has a crumb or meringue topping,
it is always delicious. A 9-inch
pie requires four to six cups of
rhubarb depending upon the type
of pie. One pound of rhubarb cut
in 3/4'inch pieces yields about 3
cups.
Tart, succulent rhubarb may
also be stewed or baked and
served as a sauce over' a
cornstarch pudding or cake. It
combines well with other fruits -
tips will be cooking in steam.
Allow six 'to twelve minutes
depending on the size of the
stalks.
• There are as many delicious
wags of serving asparagus as
there are nationalities. In Italy,
they sprinkle cooked asparagus
first with grated parmesan cheese
then with melted butter and just
'before serving pop it under the
broiler for a glazed effect. A
Polish favourite is asparagus
sprinkled with the sieved yolk of a
hard-cooked eag and finely
chopped parsley and covered just
before serving with fine bread
crumbs toasted in butter.
Some ways of serving aspara-
gus are also world favourites -
with cheese, egg or hollandaise
sauce, sour cream and mayon-
naise with curry, herbed butter,
crumbled bacon, in a souffle -or
omelet or as a chilled soup.

culture Canada, suggest
