Once the domain of gourmet restaurants, white asparagus is already a steadfast favourite in some European countries – it's even known as 'white gold' in Germany. We take a closer look at why white asparagus should be on your vegetable list this year. What is White Asparagus? This along with the fact that the asparagus season is relatively short means that it is a rare commodity.

Tip the cooked asparagus into the pan and disperse evenly. Continue to gently lift the more cooked parts of the frittata, allowing the liquid egg to slip underneath them until a happy, soft and curd-like medium has evolved. This should take around 2 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, cream cheese, parmesan and chives until smooth. Return the frying pan to a moderate heat, add a little slice of butter and heat until it is just beginning to froth. Pour in the egg mixture, turn down the heat to low and begin bringing in the frothing edges to the liquid centre of the pan using a spatula. Rinse the quinoa, place in a small saucepan and add 475ml water. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and gently simmer for 15 minutes. Drain any excess water. Set aside to cool. Using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler, cut four of the asparagus stalks lengthways into long ribbons, as thin as you can. Add them to a bowl along with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, and set aside. White asparagus can be hard to find due to its labour-intensive growing process and limited season. Ganghwe is a general Korean term that refers to a dish of small rolls that have been made by tying ingredients with a thin spring onion. They are prepared in bite‑size pieces and served with a dipping sauce. Nakji (octopus) and ojingeo (squid) ganghwe are common variations. These saewu ganghwe use prawn and asparagus.Mix the creme fraiche, egg yolks, chives, horseradish and cream, then season. Spread over the asparagus. Top with parmesan. Steaming is another popular cooking method, in which all of the asparagus' flavour is retained – a much healthier alternative to cooking in butter.

Add the asparagus to the bowl and mix into the dressing, seasoning with extra salt if required. Serve either in one serving dish or in individual bowls.
