I’ve kept you all in suspense long enough (it was a busy week!!)…

Ready to hear what entrees followed Team Spargel’s Bruchetta with Roasted Asparagus and Shaved Parmesan, Team Asparagus’ Shaved Asparagus and Fennel Salad with Pomegranate Dressing and Team LAM Chops’ Asparagus Guacamole?

Here you go:

Team Spargel started the entree round off with Asparagus Prosciutto Ravioli topped with Goat Cheese:

Team Asparagus followed with Pan Seared Sea Bass over a Stir-fry of White and Green Asparagus and Mushrooms:

Team LAM Chops ended the entree round with their version of “Fish and Chips” – Salmon Asparagus Cakes and Beer Battered Asparagus Spears with two aioli dipping sauces:
Fish and Chips...Asparagus-Style

As you can see, the three teams took three very different approaches to an asparagus themed entree – Team Spargel decided to incorporate asparagus into a classic Italian dish, while Team Asparagus really highlighted the asparagus by pairing it with a light fish. Team LAM Chops knew the judges had all gone out drinking before the competition, so they catered to the men doling out the points by asparagus-ing up a traditional pub dish.

Stay tuned for the Asparagus-themed desserts and the winners!!
