GARLIC-SAUTEED ASPARAGUS
This is a very quick and healthy vegetable side dish. Even my son, who is very picky, loves this. It works well as a snack with wine, as an appetizer, or as a side dish, especially for Asian-inspired dishes.

BUTTER-BRAISED ASPARAGUS
For the first-of-the-season asparagus, keep it simple with butter, lemon and sweet herbs. For the best texture, peeling the stalks really makes a difference.

Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. If using large, thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler.
- Put butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is firm-tender, about 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook them; they should still be bright green. (They will continue to cook a bit once the heat is off.) Remove the asparagus from the pan and place on a serving platter.
- Turn heat to high and simmer briskly until most of the liquid has evaporated, a minute or so. Add lemon juice and zest to the buttery juices. Turn off heat and stir in chives, parsley, tarragon and dill, if using. Check seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus, garnish with a few herb leaves, and serve.

Steps:
- 1. Fill medium pot 1/2 way w/ H2O, & splash of vinegar & bring to boil. Reduce heat to med-low for gentle simmer. 1 egg at a time, crack into a small teacup. Slowly and gently slide each egg into simmering water. Poach until whites are just set and yokes are still runny, 3-4 mins. Using slotted spoon, carefully transfer eggs to plate. Set aside. 2. Meanwhile bring medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until just tender, about 30 seconds. Drain immediately and pat dry with a clean dish towel. 3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add asparagus and toss often until slightly blistered in parts, about 30 seconds. Carefully add soy sauce, shaking skillet to coat asparagus until soy sauce reduces, about 15 seconds. Immediately remove skillet from heat. Add 1 TBsp H2O and butter. Continue to shake skillet and toss asparagus until butter is melted creating a dark golden brown sauce (if butter and soy sauce don't fully emulsify, add up to 1 TBsp of H2O and continue to toss until they do). 4. Divide asparagus and sauce among 4 plates, top with reserved eggs, sprinkle with sea salt to taste and serve.
ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC BROWN BUTTER SAUCE
I got this recipe from Cooking Light and it is our very favorite way to have asparagus. In the summer we grill the asparagus on the barbeque and then drizzle it with the sauce. I guessed at the serving size
