ASPARAGUS WITH ALMONDS, GOAT CHEESE, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Dressing: Place egg in a small saucepan; cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover pot and let stand 8 minutes. Run egg under cold water to stop cooking. Peel egg; remove white and reserve for another use. Press yolk through a fine sieve into a small bowl.
• Meanwhile, remove peel and pith from 1 lemon. Holding fruit over another bowl, cut between membranes, allowing segments to drop in. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl; discard membranes. Coarsely chop segments (you should have 2 tablespoons). If you don't have 2 tablespoons of juice or segments, use second lemon.
• Add mustard, lemon juice, sugar, and salt to bowl with yolk. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until creamy and emulsified. Stir in lemon segments; season with salt and pepper. Dressing can be refrigerated up to 1 week; return to room temperature before using.
• Salad: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus; return to a boil and cook, uncovered, until bright green and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain. Run under cold water to stop cooking; drain again and pat dry.
• Remove lemon zest in long strips with a vegetable peeler. Slice zest very thinly into strips; you should have about 2 tablespoons (or use a channel zester). Remove remaining peel and pith from lemon; holding fruit over a bowl, cut between membranes, allowing segments to drop in.
• Arrange asparagus on a platter with cheese. Sprinkle with almonds, zest, lemon segments, and basil. Drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing (reserve remainder for another use). Season with salt and pepper and serve, garnished with whole basil leaves.

• Arrange asparagus, side-by-side, on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Crumble goat cheese over asparagus.
• Roast in the preheated oven until cheese is slightly melted and asparagus are tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.

PAN-FRIED & RAW ASPARAGUS WITH GOAT'S CURD & BEETROOT

Steps:

• First, make the dressing. In a small bowl or jug, whisk the oil, orange zest and juice lightly, then add the pine nuts and set aside.
• Hold the asparagus at the base and just below the tip, then snap in two - you will feel a natural breaking point where the asparagus becomes a little woody. Save the woody bases for soups or stocks.
• Shred four spears of asparagus using a mandolin (or slice lengthways with a vegetable peeler). Repeat the process with the cooked beetroot. Put the shaved asparagus in a bowl of cold water and set side.
• Heat a frying pan or skillet over a high heat until hot. Coat the remaining six whole pieces of asparagus with the oil and place in the hot pan, moving them around in the pan, and season with a few pinches of sea salt. Allow the asparagus to brown, then remove, draining off any excess oil.
• Put the roasted asparagus on the plate, then add dollops of the curd. Drain the raw asparagus, then layer it over the curd with the slices of cooked beetroot. Stir the dressing and drizzle over the dish. Add some baby salad leaves to decorate, if you like.

ASPARAGUS AND TOMATO SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook asparagus for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake off excess moisture.
• Combine asparagus and grape tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over the top and toss until evenly coated. Add goat cheese and toss again. Serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS-AND-GOAT-CURD SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add enough salt to make the water salty. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Lay the asparagus out to cool completely and dry. Slice into 1-to-1 1/2-inch lengths. Combine the asparagus and arugula in a bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the blood-orange juice, vinegar and mustard and a little salt and pepper. Add the oil in gradual amounts, first in drops, then in a thin stream, until the vinaigrette is thick and emulsified. Season to taste.
• Pour the dressing over the arugula and asparagus. Toss to coat. Add the goat curd, broken into lumps. Toss gently to mix. Taste and adjust seasoning.
