In French cooking “mimosa” implies that one thing is cooked with eggs. I’m not positive of the origins of the time period, however I’ll hazard a guess that it’s a homage to the brilliant and vibrant mimosa timber that adorn the French riviera within the spring.
When you have ever strolled by a French farmer’s market (or perhaps a grocery store for that matter), you might have most likely inexperienced and white asparagus. White asparagus is grown underground and has a fragile flavour and softer texture. It’s not as well-liked (or out there) over right here however it might work effectively on this recipe.
My private desire is for inexperienced asparagus although which is earthier and fewer bitter than its white counterpart.
