It's known as spargel in Germany but also white gold, the vegetable of kings and edible ivory. Part of the allure may be due to the fact that the vegetable has a short growing season - usually mid April to mid June. We are now featuring our white asparagus across our menu. For those looking to incorporate the vegetable in their home cooking, White Asparagus Side Dish Recipe Chef Stefan Hartmann shares his recipe for the perfect white asparagus side dish. Recipe
