Peel the asparagus and cut off the bottom part.

Coat a slice of butter with a mixture of 80/20% sea salt and sugar and place it on top of the asparagus in a sous vide pouch. (I used sea salt with dried rose petals.)

Vacuum seal the bag and steam for 17 minutes.

    A vacuum sealer is one of the kitchen appliances that I have yet to buy. I'd like one though. This recipe sounds delicious!

    I LOVE asparagus. Why have I never seen white asparagus? And you know? If you look at those things - they kinda look like little penises. Ewwww.

    That would be absolutely wonderful ... if I liked asparagus! As it is, it's one of the very few vegetables I won't eat. LOL!

    Great pics though, and nicely original!

    That sounds wonderful! I really like the idea of butter with sea salt and dried rose petals.

    I am not sure that I want to eat something that looks like a little penis - but then I don't like green asparagus either.

    I can't believe someone wrote that, but quite honestly, I had the same thought. I still love your photos, and everything you make to eat always looks good.

    Funny Don't Bug Me! I think others may have thought it, too. Besides just moneythoughts. Just sayin'...heehee

    I keep thinking you'll be changing your header picture soon- something springy and flowery and bright, 'eh?

    We've been having asparagus Sat AND Sunday for the past two weekends...we love them! with a crepe filled with cooked ham. The boys love butter on top, I skip the butter.
    Delicate, delicious shots!!

    Great shots! White asparagus comes from being covered while growing and not being exposed to the sun.

    Do they taste different than the green asparagus?
