ASPARAGUS DIP

Steps:

• Boil a pot of water. While it's heating to boiling, clean up the end of the asparagus (I cut them off) and then boil them for 3 minutes.
• Drain them and put them in a cold water bath.
• In a blender, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, onion and softened cream cheese together until blended.
• Add the asparagus and pulse a few times to mix that in. We actually really blended it in, just because I love the green color.
• Put the asparagus dip into a heat proof dish and sprinkle with some more Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly browned.

• Finely dice Chicken and cook in a non-stick or lightly oiled frypan.
• In a large saucepan/pot over a medium heat, combine Sour Cream, Grated Cheese, Asparagus and cooked Chicken and stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is warm. DO NOT BRIN TO THE BOIL!
• Pour mixture into the Cob Loaf, replace top and place in a moderate oven for 5 minutes to heat the outside. If you have some mixture left over just serve in a bowl beside the Cob.
• Serve on a Large Platter surrounded by the dipping pieces. Once the dipping pieces are devoured, break off the sides! The whole lot can be eaten. (The sides and bottom of the cob are the best!).

Steps:

• To make the Parmesan butter, tip the lemon juice into a small saucepan and, over a very low heat, add the butter. Melt and stir the butter into the lemon juice until you have a smooth sauce, add the Parmesan and season to taste, then set aside.

ASPARAGUS-SPINACH DIP (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Preheat a large pan over medium heat (I use my big soup pot so I can fit all the spinach in at once). Saute the garlic in the oil for about a minute or until fragrant.
• Add the asparagus and water, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-high and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green.
• Add the spinach (in batches if necessary, covering the pan and letting the leaves wilt so there's room for more). Once all the spinach has wilted (about 3 minutes), cook uncovered for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the cashew, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor, and blend until cashews are small, coarse crumbs. Scrape down the sides to make sure you get everything.
• When the spinach is cooked, add the veggies to the food processor, making sure to include all the garlic and any remaining liquid. Puree until relatively smooth. Add the lemon juice and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
• Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate for a few hours. Serve with crackers, pretzel sticks, crudites, bread, etc. The sky's the limit. I think it would even make a good sauce for pasta.

• Whisk together mayonnaise, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and wasabi paste until sugar is dissolved.
• Serve asparagus with dip.
• This dip is also good as a spread for sandwiches and as a topping for cooked veggies! Enjoy!
