This is not because it is not yet the asparagus season that you cannot eat some. Of course fresh asparagus are tastier than canned ones. But depending on the recipe, you can be well surprised and enjoy the canned asparagus as well.
You will find below a delicious verrine recipe made with canned asparagus. The mascarpone will give the thickness of the asparagus cream and crayfish add a sensation of freshness.
The green contrasts with the pink of the crayfish and this verrine will not just taste good but will also looks good!
This recipe will awake your senses and stimulates your palate. If I would have known that it would taste so delicious, I would have made some more.
Think about it when you make this recipe and prepare save some extra!
