We usually don't endorse buying an ingredient that's imported from overseas when so much good stuff is available locally, but we make an exception for white asparagus, the light-deprived, mild stalks that Europeans are wild about. They're delicious when simply boiled (peel their tough bottoms first) and tossed with a vinaigrette, or they can add an elegant, creamy foil to salads and other dishes. In this sophisticated starter from Nashville-based chef Charles Phillips, a horseradish-spiked white asparagus purée joins paper-thin sheets of bresaola (cured and air-dried beef) and a tangle of spring greens.
