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.

LEMONY FRESH ASPARAGUS WITH THYME
It's amazing how something so simple can be so good! Fresh asparagus spears sauteed in extra virgin olive oil with garlic, lemon thyme, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon. Delicious! I will never go back to plain old steamed asparagus. Serve either hot, cold, or at room temperature. This is a great make-ahead dish.

ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES
This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

Steps:
- Place the asparagus in a large skillet and fill with about 1 inch of water. Cover the pan and set over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and almost tender.
- In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomato to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until hot.

Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus: Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
- Blanch the asparagus: Blanching helps to preserve the asparagus's鮮豔色彩 and crisp texture. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, like thyme, add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
Conclusion:
This asparagus with thyme recipe is a simple but delicious way to enjoy this spring vegetable. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the thyme adds a subtle, earthy flavor. This dish is perfect as a side dish or as a light main course.
