Asparagus is probably my favourite vegetable and when it's in season (like now) I try to eat as much as possible. I steam it, roast it, grill it and eat as is, or use it in salads. So what if it makes yer pee stink? It's good for you!
One great way to use up the asparagus you buy at the farmers market -- which is where you should be getting local stuff -- is to make Jamie Oliver's asaparagus and potato tart.
The filling is mashed potato, eggs, cream and cheese...sounds good already right?

How can anything that involves this much cheese be bad?The filling gets put into a filo dough base, and you lay the asparagus (1 lb.) on top before it goes in the oven.
Weighing out the stalks.
The end result is really tasty, and any leftovers heat up well. It's kind of like a quiche, but more substantial and definitely less eggy. Perfect for a springtime lunch or dinner, served with a salad!
