BBQ Asparagus at Queen Victoria Market
The AAC’s brand new Aussie Spears Raver set the scene for the event by putting a smile on everyone’s faces. Ably assisted by Peta Gray and Emma Christian, Vikki Leng whipped up some Spring taste sensations including Baby Cos Cups with BBQ Asparagus, Blue Cheese, Roasted Walnuts and Balsamic and Purple Asparagus & Strawberry Salad.
Shoppers were attracted like bees to honey by whole spears, brushed with garlic olive oil, salt flakes and cracked black pepper, languishing on the BBQ.
Asparagus loving QVM traders - greengrocer, Rocco Tripodi and butcher, Linda Tsatsimas - joined Vikki to share their own BBQ tips. Rocco whipped up BBQ Mushroom Pizzas with Asparagus Salsa and Linda wooed the crowd by adding Wagyu beef fillets and sausages to the BBQ and served slices with asparagus spears wrapped in warmed tortillas.
