Yet another item that would be great added to a Bloody Mary, this pickled asparagus recipe is quick, easy and versatile. Similar to other pickle recipes that use more sturdy vegetables – brussels sprouts and carrots, for example – the only extra step here is a quick blanch for better veggie texture.
You could definitely try other flavors with this pickle recipe – red pepper flakes, mustard seeds (like this one), fresh herbs…whatever your heart desires. I went with oregano for something new and different – my fridge is overloaded with dill pickled items right now and it was time to change things up.
Final tip: Best to use quart jars for this, particularly the wide-mouth kind for better access and to maximize the asparagus spear length.
