True story:
Dave: I'm going to Costco, do you want me to get anything?
Me: Yes, we need a green veg for dinner. I have asparagus so maybe grab some green beans or broccoli.
A while later he returns from Costco with a giant bag of asparagus. Insert eyeroll.
As much as I like asparagus there is no way we are going to eat it all before it goes bad - because hello, Costco asparagus is A LOT OF ASPARAGUS. And I already had asparagus. Sigh.
Point of this post is that I froze it. And it's very easy to do so I'm sharing with you in case your helpful significant other brings home a crap ton of it and you panic.
Cut the asparagus into pieces (or leave whole spears, I'm sure that works too); blanch in boiling water for a couple minutes, remove from the hot water and put straight into an ice bath to stop the cooking. An ice bath is just a big bowl of ice and water you have ready before blanching the asparagus. Drain and dry the asparagus before putting in freezer baggies and popping into the freezer. Crisis adverted.
