• Now that the seasons for fresh produce have been stretched by imports, it's not quite as much of a thrill to see the first asparagus of early spring. A pity, since I once considered the arrival of asparagus to the market as much an awaited sign of spring as forsythia and robins. Still, I like to stick with vegetables that are in season by buying locally. Freshly picked, slender asparagus is more agreeable to my eyes and palate than thick, stringy imported winter asparagus.
• Spring asparagus needs to have only about half an inch trimmed off the bottom of the stalks; scraping is unnecessary when the stalks are slender. Asparagus makes a good side dish, simply steamed, with a tiny bit of nonhydrogenated margarine or whipped butter added. Microwave cooking yields good results; place the stalks in a small casserole dish with just enough water to keep them moist. Cover and cook until tender-crisp to your liking. How long this takes depends on the quantity and quality of the asparagus, so test often and serve right away.
• Another great way to prepare slender asparagus is to cut it into 2- to 3-inch lengths and sauté it in olive oil with minced garlic.
