ASPARAGUS WITH MISO BUTTER
This combination of miso and butter is natural and delicious, too. Miso butter looks a little like cake frosting and is just as easy to lick off the fingers. With the egg yolk dripping onto the butter and the asparagus spears dipped into the eggy, miso slurry, you're looking at a four-star dish at a neighborhood restaurant - or at home.

Steps:
- Put oil or fat in skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add as much asparagus as will fit in a layer, add salt and pepper to taste, and toss and stir until browned and shriveled, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, over low heat in a small saucepan, warm and whisk together miso and butter, so they combine, and butter softens but does not melt. Whisk in vinegar and keep warm. Warm a serving plate.
- When asparagus is done, put some miso butter on bottom of serving plate. Blot excess fat from asparagus if you like, put on top of the miso butter, and top with poached eggs. Serve immediately.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY LEEKS AND CAPERS
In this supremely springy recipe, thick asparagus stalks and thinly sliced leeks are glossed with olive oil and covered in salty capers. Everything is roasted in the same pan and emerges tender and golden-edged. Capers also make an appearance in the mustard sauce served alongside, which adds a tangy, mayonnaise-like richness. You can double the recipe, if you wish, though you may have to increase the roasting time by a few minutes to make up for a more-crowded pan. Serve this on its own as a first course, or as an accompaniment to roast chicken, braised meats or seared fish. Just don't use thin asparagus: It'll cook too quickly, before the leeks have a chance to turn golden. Stick with spears that are at least 1/2 inch in diameter.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put asparagus on a rimmed sheet pan and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated.
- In a small bowl, stir together leeks, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle leeks on top of asparagus, then sprinkle with capers. Roast until asparagus are tender and golden brown, about 12 to 18 minutes.
- While the asparagus stalks roast, make the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, capers and garlic. Slowly whisk in olive oil a few drops at a time to create a thick, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once asparagus stalks are out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over it and sprinkle parsley on top. Serve with mustard sauce and more lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears for roasting, as they will hold up better to the heat and won't overcook as easily.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus before roasting. You can bend each spear until it snaps naturally, or use a knife to cut off the bottom inch or two.
- Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the asparagus at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
- While the asparagus is roasting, make the miso dressing. Whisk together miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and water until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the asparagus is cooked, drizzle it with the miso dressing and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Roasted asparagus with miso dressing is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The asparagus is roasted until tender-crisp and then tossed with a flavorful miso dressing. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
