Spring returns and with it the many small vegetables full of vitamins and freshness. The opportunity to include them on the menu.
Stock up on green
What if we added a lot of spring to the menu. How ? By focusing on seasonal products, of course!
Spinach shoots, snow peas, green asparagus, spring onions, broad beans, artichokes, so many delights, all dressed in green, which give a nice green touch to our plate.
Small spring vegetables between raw and cooked
In spring and on sunny days in general, the wine is a delight for gourmands. Quick to prepare and cook, small vegetables, aromatic herbs, or even different leafy vegetables are popular in salads topped with a simple vinaigrette. So we can take full advantage of their fibers and vitamins. But not all spring vegetables are enjoyed raw, this is the case for green asparagus or artichokes, which are enjoyed in a cooked version. Also, if you have difficulty digesting the fiber in raw vegetables, consider not including it at each meal, and preferring cooked vegetables, which are more digestible.
Whatever food you choose, you should preferably buy it organic (especially if you eat it raw), and if it comes from France, or even the region, it's even better! Even if obviously each region of France has its specificities and does not necessarily produce the same foodstuffs as its neighbor.
While waiting to fully enjoy the sunny days that are coming back, here are 40 recipes served on a platter to enjoy spring.
