A Smoked Tofu Stir-Fry with Fresh Spring Greens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the absolute best things about spring? The greens. Wild garlic (or B\u00e4rlauch<\/em>, if you’re lucky enough to live near a forest), tender green asparagus, and one of my favorite lesser-known veggies\u2014sprouting broccoli. Known as Spargelkohl<\/em> in Germany (literally \u201casparagus cabbage\u201d), this leafy green beauty looks like a cross between broccoli and kale, with slender, asparagus-like stems and small, deep green-purple florets. It\u2019s part of the cabbage family, but don\u2019t let that fool you\u2014it\u2019s delicate, fresh, and cooks up in just a couple of minutes. Which is exactly why it pairs so perfectly with spring asparagus in a quick, flavorful stir-fry. Where to find it? Skip the supermarket. I\u2019ve yet to see it at my local Rewe, but a good farmers\u2019 market is your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n
