9 pairings for Spargelsalat.

classic

A fast stir-fry with garlic is the hot version of the same idea.

common

Heat and fat against a stem that is otherwise just crunch and faint bitterness.

common

Salt against a mild vegetable that carries almost no savour of its own.

common

uncommon

Numbing tingle over a crisp mild stem, the standard cold-dish treatment.

uncommon

Stir-fried with shredded pork, the stem stays crisp while the meat carries the savour.

rare
