ASPARAGUS, SNAP PEAS & CHIVE BLOSSOM PASTA
Our farmers market visits may be weather dependent now that we live in Chicago, but when the season is right, the markets are flourishing. This recipe was inspired by a visit to the Logan Square Farmers Market in the early spring. I came home with some gorgeous snap peas, asparagus, and these perfect purple chive blossoms that are delicious sprinkled over everything (note: regular chives work here too). The pasta shape in this recipe mimics the size of the snap peas and the cut asparagus. It feels like you're eating a big plate of pasta, but really it's half vegetables.

Steps:
- Mix together the lemon juice and mustard. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the package, cooking until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the radishes, asparagus, snap peas, chives, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the green vegetables are tender but still have a vibrant bite. Stir in the garlic and the white wine and cook for 1 minute to slightly reduce the wine.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the pasta. Add the lemon-mustard mixture, the reserved pasta water, ⅓ cup of Parmesan cheese, and the lemon zest. Toss until coated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Transfer to a platter and garnish with the chive blossoms and the thyme flowers. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and serve with the remaining ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese.
CHILLED BEETS AND ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC CHIVE BLOSSOMS
Steps:
- First, a note on beets: they'll stain anything! Make sure you wear gloves as you're peeling the beets unless you want your hands to be an attractive magenta color!
- Place the quartered beets in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately lower the heat to medium and let the beets cook for about 20 minutes or just until fork tender. Drain the beets and run them under cold water. Drain and set aside. As you're doing this, get another pot of water boiling and drop the prepped asparagus into it for just 2 minutes. Drain the asparagus and run it under cold water immediately. This is called blanching. Drain and add to the beets.
- In yet another saucepan, add the water, orange blossom water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the glaze has reduced by half and has thickened slightly. Toss with the vegetables, and add the roughly chopped garlic chives. Top with the chive blossoms and crumbled goat cheese and serve as a first course on a bed of mixed greens.

CHARGRILLED ASPARAGUS & SPRING ONIONS WITH CHIVE FLOWERS
My recipe for Chargrilled Asparagus & Spring Onions with Chive Flowers is simple and yet a painting on the plate with its mauve chive flowers, grass green asparagus and spring onion stems. It is the perfect accompaniment to any grilled meats or fish, especially salmon, and also makes a wonderfully tactile summer "sharing platter" for an "al fresco" lunch or supper.

Steps:
- Heat a griddle pan over a very high heat and add the olive oil - place the asparagus spears & spring onions in the pan, being careful that the oil does not spit and burn you.
- Cook for 2 to 4 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness and then turn over and continue to cook for a further 2 to 4 minutes. You are aiming for charred, but not burnt!
- Just before the end add the Balsamic vinegar and a little more oil if needed.
- Serve straight away with chopped fresh chives and chive flowers sprinkled over the top, and a lemon wedge per serving.

QUICK-PICKLED SPICY ASPARAGUS
I love pickled asparagus but got tired of spending so much money on tiny little jars and decided to pickle my own. I also like it spicy but feel free to halve the crushed red pepper or omit it altogether if spice is not your thing.

PICKLE ASPARAGUS SALAD
Asparagus is our favorite vegetable, so when it's in season, I try every possible way to prepare it. This attractive salad appears on our table often. Pickle juice gives the dressing a distinctive flavor. -Peggy Davies, Canon City, Colorado
