Wild asparagus or “Ttrigueros” as they are known here in Spain, grow all over the Island of Mallorca in March and April.
The locals spend hours scouring the fields and roadsides filling their baskets with them.Growing wild throughout the Mediterranean, the Romans are believed to have been the first to domesticate asparagus. After the fall of the Roman Empire, asparagus was cultivated in their monastery gardens, along with medicinal herbs. Cultivated for more the 2000 years, asparagus will grow wherever it can find a good footing. Wild Asparagus loves secluded hedgerows and undisturbed country roads.
When choosing asparagus, look for firm, brightly- coloured spears with
tight, crisp tips. (Very large stalks tend to come from older plants and can be
tough.). If the stalks bend without breaking it’s a good sign that they have
definitely seen better days. Asparagus is usually boiled or steamed, but can be
grilled or roasted for a different, slightly nutty flavour. There is a special
asparagus pan (useful but not necessary) that allows the spears to stand
upright in boiling water, while the steam gently cooks the more delicate tips.
But you can cook them simply in a large pan of boiling water, cover and boil
anywhere from 3-6 minutes – this will depend on the size and freshness of the
spears. (450g should be enough for 2 people.).
