New Menu at Intercontinental Dublin Pays Homage to this Unsung Seasonal Ingredient

We’ve become accustomed to seeing asparagus in the fruit and veg aisles all year round, but this flown-in product comes nothing near to the locally grown variety.

Though sprouting up from Irish soil for a short time only, from just May until June, blink and you will miss Asparagus season in Ireland.

Making the most of the delicate flavour of these tender stems, InterContinental Dublin has created a seasonal asparagus menu which will be served from 12th – 20th May.

Executive Chef Alberto Rossi has created new dishes that pay homage to this unsung hero using asparagus sourced from Drummond House in Baltray, Co. Louth.

To start Alberto has combined this locally grown asparagus with truffled egg ravioli, or there’s sumptuous Irish salmon with white asparagus.

Following that there’s a juicy 6oz Irish beef fillet with grilled asparagus, sautéed morels and potato terrine in a Béarnaise sauce, or ‘John Dory’ with grilled radicchio and wild asparagus for the main course.

Guest can choose to enjoy the hotel’s seasonal menus in either the comfortable Lobby Lounge or the stylish the Seasons Restaurant.

The seasonal asparagus menu starts from €12, see www.intercontinentaldublin.ie.

The 5 star InterContinental Dublin Hotel, nestled on two acres in the exclusive neighbourhood of Ballsbridge, is retreat for travellers to Dublin looking for historic sophistication minutes from Dublin city centre.
