Chef Lidia Bastianich, Spring Snow, and Asparagus with Eggs

Chef Lidia Bastianich, of the PBS cooking series “”Lidia’s Italy”, celebrates spring and asparagus in this video filmed in the spring snow! She prepares a simple breakfast or brunch of asparagus with eggs, scallions, olive oil, salt and pepper, served with a side salad.

Her asparagus tips? Lidia says to choose stalks that snap easily rather than bend, and she prefers the skinnier stalks to the fatter ones, for a more intense flavor. She shaves the outside of the bottom of the stalks with a peeler, as they tend to be tough and fibrous.

    I love Lidia! It’s like cooking with your mother. Well, maybe not my mother – but that’s another story 😉

    Great recipe – looks like it would make an awesome dinner too!

    Thank you Betty for visiting! That does bring up an interesting thought though, if you could choose any famous chef to be a parent, who would you choose? Me: Julia! But only if I was allowed to keep the original parent!
