A festival of freshness
As summer approaches we see fresh produce in abundance, fruits like berries, melons and plums are so juicy and refreshing, making them perfect for a hot summer’s day. But it’s the vegetables at this time of year that I get excited about. Fresh sweetcorn, scorched on the barbie or just drizzled with butter is as close as we can get to a bite of sunshine. Most summer vegetables are great for baking, grilling and steaming. Vibrant green beans, tomatoes and capsicums are at their absolute best at this time of year. And don’t forget that most summer veggies are perfect in salads too. This makes summer a perfect time to increase your vegetable intake.
Don’t worry if salads aren’t for you, there is one vegetable that really stands out in summer and is so versatile, that vegetable is asparagus. When in season locally it is so tender and delicate, a real hit with fish and seafood but also amazing with chicken as well as being a stand out when just simply steamed.
MAGGI have some tasty recipes that make the most out of asparagus so why not pick some up next time you go grocery shopping.
