It's asparagus season here in Germany! This was the first time (for both of us) cooking white asparagus. Have you ever tried white asparagus before? If so, please let us know some of your cooking tips! 😏

[@malinthasler832]

Ich liebe es Spargel zu grillen davor muss man ihn allerdings 5-10 Minuten kochen und danach circa 20-30 Minuten auf den Grill das schmeckt einfach so unglaublich lieb auch lecker ist leicht gekocht und dann in den Ofen mit Gewürzen ,Feta oder Mozzarella überbacken😍🤤

[@jarneseidler3610]

I think the best asparagus dish is "Spargelröllchen": asparagus with cooked ham and a little bit of mayonnaise! A soup of asparagus is also nice 😉 Best wishes, Jarne

[@aragokgrindylow8126]

we always eat it like your lunch, but im missing the schnitzel😁

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

I was at Safeway earlier this week and surprisingly saw white asparagus in the produce section! I would expect to see it in a jar at Bavarian World (one of our local German deli/bakery/grocery store/restaurants) but this is the first time I’ve noticed it at the regular grocery store!!

[@timojaniel1066]

I like your videos with food content. I think you guys made good and quick way of cooking white asparagus. You could use the shell/skin and the ends with half of an orange and half of a lemon cut to infuse the cookingwater for the aspargus with a nice flavor by cooking it for 10 minutes. After that just use the water to cook the asparagus with salt and a little bit of sugar (adding butter is not really useful because fat doesn´t connect with water). The asparagus will taste al lot better and you can use the water for more asparagus. Btw. a homemade hollandaise isn´t that tricky and my grammar is a mess…

[@lonelywolf8388]

Phil, you have to take Deana out to a restaurant! (once they re-open) Pre-packaged hollandaise sauce is nothing! If Deana gives this a 10/10, eating white asparagus freshly harvested from the field the same day together with a chef-made hollandaise sauce will blow her mind. Since you mentioned that you were raised on that cheap imitation of asparagus from the glass, I just HAD TO drop this comment. :D Alternatively, at least buy fresh asparagus from a local farmer and make your own hollandaise sauce. You will not regret the effort, even though it's difficult to make! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3nUYmurjLV5jK8

[@silkwesir1444]

Yes it's difficult to make. One "cheat" to make it a bit easier, is to use a pack of those pre-packaged sauces and mix it in... So that maybe 20% of the sauce is the prepackaged one and the other 80% is what you made yourself.

[@disneylandacidtrip]

Most restaurants don't make their own hollondaises any more unfortunately. They buy it in buckets.

[@marcuskerschbaum3992]

Sorry Leute, aber Spargel aus dem Glas gehen gar nicht. Zumal wir jetzt mitten in der Spargelsaison sind.

[@silkwesir1444]

ich hab vor 6-8 Wochen Spargel im Glas gehamstert... Man sagte, nach der Klopapierkrise kommt die Spargelkrise.

[@wesleyluvsoktoberfest]

Marcus Kerschbaum Genau....

[@Andisepp]

kommt darauf an wie du ihn zubereiten/essen willst. Zur Jause ist der Spargel aus dem Glas passender, wenn du ihn zum Kochen verwenden willst ist natürlich der frische besser.

The clear asparagus soup is very good too - very refreshing.

[@SimiAcheronsDemon]

Ihr könnt die Abschnitte und Schalen in einem Saeckchen mitkochen, das macht den Geschmack intensiver. Wenn ihr das Wasser mit Sahne verfeinert und vielleicht ein bisschen Bruehwuuerfel und ihr habt eine einfache Spargelcremesuppe Ihr habt den Schinken bei eurem Mittagessen vergessen, es ist nicht nur Spargel, Kartoffeln und Hollandaise sondern es gehört Schinken dazu

Spargelsaison in Deutschland und du nimmst Spargel aus dem Glas????!!!???? WHYYYYYYYY????? 😩😩😩😩

[@lw9085]

Here in Southern Germany, we make wraps out of pfannkuchen, ham and freshly cooked white asparagus in the middle. Adding at least 2 spoons full of sauce hollondaise to it is optional but highly recommended ;)

[@DeanaandPhil]

holy cow that sounds amazing!

[@fipsi04]

Deana and Phil that is amazing :) Its s typically schwäbisch way of eating asparagus

[@mirijamxy5962]

Hollondaise is not optional to me. It is the highlight. Also I put corn in it as well.

[@groundzero7470]

I´m sooo going to try that. Thanks :)

[@silkedavid8876]

EXCUSE ME|! It is season and you buy it in a jar? I guess it is cheap. Also, try to get thinner stalks, they are not as stringy and more flavoursome. Eine PRISE Salz and sugar? Never heard that before. Cut the larger potaotes into half or quarters so they are pretty much the same size. Otherwise you end up with mush and undercooked ones. So, after eating A all day, I do not want to share a bathroom with you. It is supposed to be an aphrodisiac, did you notice anything? I live in GB, and we hardly have white A here. Only jars. I will have green asparagus today, but prefer white. In my family we usually had it with Schinken and new potatoes. Or scrambled eggs is nice. or smoked salmon. My grandma had a A bed in her vegetable garden and we had freshly gestochenen for lunch.

[@ein_nachti]

Davon Spargel aufs Brot zu tun habe ich noch nie gehört, aber nach dem Video zu urteilen gab es in meiner Familie einige spargelbezogene Unterschiede. 😶 Bei uns gab es z.B. nie Spargel aus dem Glas und Hollondaise galt auch immer als Untat, weil es den ganzen Geschmack übertüncht. Bei uns gab es am ehesten in Butter geschwenkten weißen Spargel mit Petersilie, ab und zu mit Semmelbröseln. (Wobei ich selbst die Hollandaise viel lieber mag, auch ohne Spargel 😅)

[@ein_nachti]

Oh und Brot haben wir immer getoastet wenn es vom Vortag übrig war!

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

Next time, get some good sliced cooked ham and roll it around the freshly cooked asparagus, that will improve the overall flavor a lot.

[@nikomangelmann6054]

you can take the asparagus peelings and cook it too. so you have an tasty asparagus soup.

[@tyronejackson4509]

Those look like adult toys. The Slim N Taper model I believe

[@frankydebaus4650]

As a Belgian i also love aspargus. I make them in many different ways but most of the time i eat them cooked with hardboiled eggs, parsley, clarified butter and a bit of nutmeg. This is called "asperges a la flamande" and it is my favorite vegitarian dish. If you want to pimp this you can add cooked ham, smoked salmon or some cured ham. If you slice the asparagus diagonally in slices of 0,5 cm you can eat them raw also. Very nice as a refreshing salad or you can stirfry them briefly in the wok. I only eat fresh ones and don't the ones in a jar because those are too mushy and don't taste as good. Grtz, Franky

[@judys9083]

You will get green asparagus in June...that's the season. Then drizzle with oil, salt, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Foil it, and grill it for 10 minutes. Yum!

[@pascalmerschaudio]

Deana is so funny, The judging judger thing is also a typical german thing

[@erdnuzz8368]

Spring time in germany: You see people running into supermarkets and farm stores to get the fresh, nice asparagus. (and strawberries :3) Every year i buy so much to freeze a lot of it so i have fresh asparagus for the rest of the year. It is so good!

[@juricarmichel5864]

Want some coulor? Try Spargel, Bratkartoffeln und "Frankfurter Grüne Soße".

[@jabba6552]

White and green asparagus is actually the same plant but at a different time. The white one is picked when it is still just benath the earth, the green one is cut when it is about 15 cm (~6") above the ground. Asparagus is not harvested after June 24th. Personally I prefer freshly cooked (with some salt only) white asparagus with roasted steak or pork flavored with pepper, salt, garlic. You can have cooked potatoes with it but you don't have to, neither any sauce (some molten butter perhaps).

[@naimapeukert8575]

Ich liebe Spargel, ich koche das jeden Sonntag aber ich mache die Spargel mit helle Soße und dazu Schnitzel und Salzkartoffeln 😋😋😋😋😋😋

[@joanneburg4159]

We are starting to get our asparagus here in Wisconsin. It's been a cold spring. We love ours grilled or baked in the oven, but grilled the most. Heading out right now to pick some from our garden. We will have it tomorrow for Mother's Day. Great show as always. Have a great weekend.

[@wdinns]

in germany, it is grown in hills like potatoes, but when you look across the field at the farmers picking it, they carry, a pointed trowel-like for laying concrete, and a flat trowel, and a knife, and a wicker basket, the hill is 3 feet high and you can only see them from the waist up, when they are standing in the field, the top of the hills are packed, and when you see the tip breaking the surface, you dig down and cut it off at an angle about 8 inches long, drop it in the basket, and fill in the hole , and pack it smooth with the flat trowel, and then move on down the row, looking for more just breaking thru the surface, that is why it is white, and so tender, when it is cooked, ------------------------------------------------stationed there for 6 years

[@Sinmara]

Growing up in Austria my mum always made Spargel mit Spiegelei - Asparagus (white) with eggs

[@robinowen3058]

Green asparagus tossed in olive oil then grilled, yum!

[@tinaburgess7164]

I've only seen white asparagus in jars. I like to put my green asparagus on a baking sheet with a little salt free seasoning (high blood pressure ) and baking it at 350. It gives a nice bold flavor retains more nutrients than boiling

[@DeanaandPhil]

that's how Deana does it! Pretty yummy! =)

[@S_Black]

The jar one is only really suitable for salads because it's soft from the liquid it comes in. Maybe some other things. But certainly not as a proper side dish, let alone the main course

[@richardbrinkerhoff]

Why is she so surprised about white asparagus in a bottle? In America, they have green asparagus in a can.

[@lisao7600]

I bought it canned once because I was craving asparagus and it wasn't in season for fresh. I was not a fan of the canned asparagus at all. I think it was too soft, like it was overcooked.

Instead of the Sauce Hollandaise you can eat asparagus just wirh brown butter and Semmelbrösel. That's the way it is eaten here in my region.

[@cynettacynclaire9594]

Here in New Jersey, I cook both white and green by putting in cold salted tap water, bringing to a boil then simmer covered for 7 minutes! I usually then eat with salted butter. Fresh white asparagus is less available, but still common I've never seen it sold other than fresh. Green is available fresh, canned and frozen

[@hannepustjens9133]

there is also a a good belgian asparagus recipe called asperges a la flamande. it's asparagus with a mixture of hardboiled eggs butter and parsely and coocked ham on top of it. is so delicious defenetly worth a try

just north of Mannheim, there are acres of asparagus fields--the farmers would walk the trenches twice a day, digging it out, -------the white is way better than the green stuff, not woody after it is cooked

Here in Quebec, white asparagus is very hard to find. But for the green ones, I do not peel them but snap the end with my hands….it is supposed to snap just at the right place…..

[@wesleyluvsoktoberfest]

Deana ist die Spargel Königin. I grew up in Rhein/Main area and have for many years live in the U. S. I have only found white asparagus in jars at World Market. We always had fresh from the same farmer that we bought from for many years. My mother would make soup from the peels with cream and Pfifferling mushrooms. The asparagus was served with boiled ham and boiled potatoes with butter and parsley. I do miss the fresh white asparagus season. Viel spaß und lass euch schmecken.

Nick is right. My husband eats it with full fat mayonnaise. Just plain white asparagus is gross.

[@CinematicHypeTV]

I've never seen anyone in my life eat Asparagus on bread. Or with creamcheese, OR cold. Let alone the combination xD. I wouldn't say its "how germans eat this". I think the most common is Asparagus (boiled and fresh), with Ham (smoked), Sauce-Hollandaise and some potato's. The other common GERMAN Asparagus Dish would be an "Asparagus Creme Soup". But I'm from the north, so there must be a small region with a lot of sick people that eat cold Asparagus from a glas, on bread with creamcheese and ham xD jk.

[@dietergrawe1187]

I never ever would eat asparagus out of glasses or cans. I only eat this fresh during the season, harvested at most the day before. This implies that I don´t eat some harvested in other countries. Asparagus is very delcious when it is fresh.

[@ByteScout71]

Instead of adding salt and sugar to the cooking water, you should add a little of the sauce hollandaise into it. It's much easier and has better effect to the Asparagus. Try it next time. ;)

[@jessicaely2521]

You have to pike hollandaise sauce. To my husband and I hollandaise sauce is disgusting. My husband eats them with mayonnaise. I'm not crazy about them.

[@traceywatson2092]

We are Americans that lived in Germany for 6 years. We loved Springtime when the Spargel was in season. It has such a delicate flavor. We prefer our vegetables fresh or frozen, never canned or processed in glass. I’ve never seen Spargel in the US, I’m not sure why. Enjoy it while you can. 😊

[@MrCrowbar666]

Instead of boiling the asparagous try putting it in the oven! For this use fresh (!!!) asparagous that is not too thick (1cm - 1.5cm). Put them either in aluminum foil packages with a tablespoon of butter and add a bit of sugar and salt to it. Do not put too many asparagours in a package, maybe 8-10 max, they should not stick together. Alternatively to aluminum foil use a flat casserole with either a lid or cover it with aluminum foil. After trying this the first time, I never went back to boiling asparagous! My favourite serving is with a classic german style pancake with self-made Hollandaise and ham. But any classic serving goes with this style of making asparagous. Cheers from Baden :)

It's subsurface vs. above surface.

[@leadinggirl1310]

I love asparagus baked in the oven. When you put the asparagus in tin foil with butter, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar, the taste is much more intense as cooked in water. Or you can deep fry asparagus breaded like Schnitzel or with Tempura batter. Or make an asparagus-strawberry salad with rucola, or... or... or... there are so much varations how you can eat white asparagus. And try it all!! ;-)

I've seen fresh white asparagus at the supermarket, but very rarely and only in the last 10 years or so. Never tried it. In the US we normally eat green asparagus. My parents generation would have eaten it two ways: boiled and served with mayonnaise, or in cream of asparagus soup. Nowadays there is more variety.

[@sebastianmischke6210]

Your lunch would be even better if you made boiled ham around the asparagus and chives on top

Spargel kochen: Salz, (wenig) Zucker und eine zitronenecke ins Wasser, Aufkochen, dann Spargel rein und nur gaaaanz leicht köcheln. Am besten nur ziehen lassen. Die Schalen und Abschnitte könnt ihr auch gern aufheben und weiter verarbeiten. Gewaschen in einem Topf mit Wasser, Salz und (einer kleinen Prise) Zucker kochen. Durch ein Sieb in einen anderen Topf geben und mit Salz, Pfeffer und einem Spritzer Zitrone und Sahne eine Cremesuppe zaubern. Diese kann mit Kochschinkenstreifen verfeinert werden. Wenn ihr richtig guten Spargel "erleben" wollt, greift mal etwas tiefer ins Portemonnaie und besorgt euch Beelitzer Spargel. Das ist ein Anbaugebiet in Brandenburg, aber es ist mit Abstand der beste Spargel den ihr kriegen könnt. Kein vergleich zu dem günstigen 'frischen' aus dem Supermarkt um die Ecke...

[@dieZera]

make hollandaise from scratch! it's completely different

[@swanpride]

...The trick with asparagus is to compare prices...I just got two fresh "bund" for 3 Euro (well, 2.99) a piece. Another trick is to mix it with green asparagus (since the green one is cheaper). But it's okay, because an asparagus dish is at then end of the day not more expensive than a fish or meat dish, but just as filling.

[@vir3999]

You should try the fresh ones from the local farmer.

[@telfairf1102]

I've not seen white asparagus, but it looked delicious! My mom and grandmother always made asparagus on toast with melted Swiss cheese over it. My favorite is to take an asparagus spear, spread cream cheese on it and wrap with bacon, then bake until the asparagus is tender.

[@miriammontenbruck8022]

Best way to cook fresh Asparagus not to make it too mushy: like the potatoes, put it in COLD water with salt and sugar (one teaspoon is enough) let it come to boil and then turn it off immediately. Leave it in the hot (recently boiled) water for a maximum of 15-20 Minutes. Some other recommendations: Cleared butter ...or even browned butter is more delicious with asparagus than hollandaise. Another thing, that is very delicious: baked in the oven with freshly ground parmesan. I prefer to eat Spanish Serrano Ham or Italian Parma Ham to "Schwarzwälder", they are air dried and not too smokey...goes better with the asparagus. This year, however, I decided to eat less of it because of the horrible working and living conditions of seasonal workers within this pandemic.....sorry, I am 50 years old and we protested quite a lot in the 80ies and exploitation of people is still on my plate (and so I cannot help myself but to metion here and there that I am avoiding Nestlé products especially ...what they do is pure evil....) :(

[@MattCoversTech]

I like to cook my asparagus on a bed of salmon with some kosher salt and dill. I take all of that and make a foil pocket that I put in the oven until the salmon is cooked. I then make hollandaise sauce and drizzle that over the asparagus. I only use baby asparagus because like Deanna said, the full size green stuff is very stringy and vegetal. You guys are terrific, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with many German nationals and Phil reminds me of what a joy the German people are. I miss them.

[@disneylandacidtrip]

My boyfriend and I always buy the green asparagus, because it doesn't need to be peeled. We also take it as an excuse to eat a ton of hollondaise (the full fat of course) 🤣

[@deanranged3762]

Hi guys, white asparagus and green asparagus are the same plant. To get white asparagus farmers keep burying the shoots as they emerge resulting in white asparagus fields looking like just a bunch of dirt mounds. I like asparagus braised with carrots and fingerling potatoes.

[@holger_p]

Surprise: White Tea and Green Tea and Black Tea, is also the same plant ;-)

Little tip from the potato capital of idaho. Leave the skin on, coat it in olive oil and liberal amounts of rock salt. Then throw it in the oven. The salt will be absorbed making a crunchy outter layer and pulling the starches out. It beats potatoes done any other method including brautkertofen. You wont need butter or anything when you eat them, they will.be awesome.
