Recipe: White Tender Asparagus with Terpenes, Terpy White Forest

We’re back with more delicious recipes by the great Chef420grados! In this entry, we’ll be combining seasonal products (fresh white asparagus) with a special touch of Cali Terpenes.

In order to create this recipe, called “Terpy White Forest”, MIB or Missing in Barcelona food-grade terpenes were chosen. Why this strain? Chef420grados wanted to create a mixture of aromas as complex as the dish, combining hints of fruit, earth, citrus and pine.

The history behind white asparagus is quite linked to the Mediterranean sea, although it’s believed they were originally found near the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. Another theory states that they were originally used in ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations, made popular by the Romans who introduced them to the Iberian Peninsula. Regardless of their origin, we’re glad our ancestors added it to their recipes; apart from being delicious, asparagus are an amazing source of fibre and can help to detox the body.

This seasonal ingredient tends to be used during March and July in Spain, and it’s rich in fibre, folates and vitamins from group B.

Enjoy a healthy and surprisingly delicious dish with this recipe from our beloved Chef420grados.

White Asparagus with Terpenes: Step by Step

Let’s have a look at how to make this recipe, all you have to do is follow a few simple steps:

Prep

1. Boil a decent amount of vinegar (in our case, apple vinegar) in a pot. Add the mussels and cover.
2. Separate the meat in the mussels from the shells, adding the vinegar with the juice from the mussels until the texture is as desired. Sieve it to remove any lumps, add a touch of salt and set aside.
3. Melt the butter and add a drop of MIB terpenes. Mix and add your sauce once it’s cooled down a bit.
4. Peal the asparagus (leaving the tip) and cook them in a pot with water and salt, boiling at low heat (about 8 – 12 mins depending on the size of the asparagus). We recommend testing the stem of the asparagus with a fork to make sure they’re well cooked. Cool down and set aside.
5. Lay your slices of ham on kitchen paper and dry them by placing them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
6. Shred the bred and ham until you have breadcrumbs. Set aside.

Plating
