Well i thought the flavor asparagus added when cooked with other
ingredients was better than when served on its own.

A bˇchamel sauce has a clove studded onion simmered in cream. When im
making a white sauce i cut u p an onion in to large dice and simmer it
in milk for about 15 - 20 minutes. I then use the onion flavored milk
to make the sauce with.

Seems to me doing the same thing with cut up asparagus might be worth while.
