Taste for seasoning and add salt, if needed (it will). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- On a separate burner, bring a small pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat. Have a small bowl of well salted ice water on standby. Cook the asparagus tips in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them from the boiling water and plunge them immediately into the ice water. When the tips are cool, remove them from the water, pat dry and reserve.
- In a blender or with an immersion blender, puree the asparagus stock mixture. Strain through a mesh strainer, if desired. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Chill.

ASPARAGUS GALETTE WITH GOAT CHEESE
This asparagus galette could be an appetizer or a side dish, or you could top it with an egg and serve it as an entree. While I prefer to make my own whole wheat crust to add a nutty flavor, you could use a refrigerated crust instead. Cooking all vegetables before assembling the galette adds flavor and expels most of the moisture, so the crust gets crispy in the oven. If you want to save time, use caramelized onion jam instead of caramelizing the leeks. -Kellyn Kemmerer, Baltimore, Maryland

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus that is firm and has tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown or yellow spots.

- Roast the asparagus. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly browned.
- Make the goat cheese dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the goat cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Serve the asparagus. Drizzle the goat cheese dressing over the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with goat cheese dressing is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is roasted until tender and slightly browned, and the goat cheese dressing is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
