Last year for Hadley Grass.

Sweet out of the fertile Connecticut River Valley earth.

Asparagus. From Hadley, Massachusetts. Finally here!

There is nothing like it. Will they have it at UWS Farmer’s Market?

We’ll find out next year.

Steam it until tender but still crunchy. Quick cold water bath.

Pat dry.

Add Oregano. Ground black pepper.

Balsamic vinegar.

That’s it.
