How to prepare each food
Asparagus
Snap off the woody ends and peel the lower stalk if it feels fibrous, then steam, roast, or boil until very soft. Offer a whole tender spear as a finger food to grip, or mash the soft tips into a purée.
A whole soft-cooked spear to hold, or smooth purée. The tip should mash easily between two fingers.
Asparagus stalks can be stringy and the woody bottom end is tough. Snap off the woody ends, peel the lower stalk if fibrous, and cook until very soft so the strings break down. Chop small once the spears are tender.
Putting it together
A smooth asparagus purée brightened with fresh mint, blended with broth, water, or milk.
