Mediterranean Wild Asparagus Recipe
Introduction
We are going to go over the Mediterranean Wild Asparagus Recipe. This is one of my favorites nutrient packed super healthy recipe for Asparagus that’s great for your gut health.
Asparagus comes in different varieties and usually the ones you will find in store is either the traditional green, white and purple variety as seen below:
Green White Purple Asparagus
While both of these are very good and healthy today we will be going over the wild variety which looks and tastes very different.
The main difference I think is the bitter medicinal earthy flavor that the wild asparagus packs. The wild variety usually cannot be found in stores but you can probably find it on your local farmers market.
It grows wild all over the Mediterranean and tastes very good if you are digging the earthy flavor of it.
Today we will go over a recipe based on purely Mediterranean ingredients such as Olive oil and Wild Oregano.
