ROASTED ASPARAGUS FRITTATA
Asparagus begs to be roasted; this recipe was developed after roasting a couple pounds and using them in a bunch of different dishes over a few days. This was the favorite, and frankly, the uber-favorite was this in a sandwich. More spring recipes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the asparagus is lightly charred and tender, about 12 minutes. (You can let the asparagus sit at room temperature for hours, or refrigerate overnight.)
- Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, half the chervil (and half the cheese, if you like). Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths and arrange in a single layer in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drizzle with more olive oil and set over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus. Use a spatula if necessary to make a round frittata. Cook until nearly set, tilting the pan and lifting the edge of the set egg to let the liquid egg flow underneath, about 4 minutes.
- When the top is almost dry, flip the frittata onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan. Let cook for just a few seconds, then flip out onto a plate. Alternatively, use an ovenproof pan and put it in the oven or under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle with the remaining chervil (and cheese if you are using it) and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

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.

- 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.

SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND LEEK IN PARCHMENT

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss asparagus and leek with oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange a fillet on one side of crease on each piece of parchment. Top with asparagus mixture, dividing evenly. Fold each piece of parchment over, then make small overlapping pleats to seal open sides, creating half-moon-shaped packets.
- Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets, 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to plates and carefully cut packets open with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve, topped with herbs and squeezed with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Trim each leek at the root end, making sure the stalk stays intact, then cut off the top where the green part begins. Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Immerse in a bowl of cold water to loosen any sand or grit. Rinse under cold running water, and pat dry.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim tough ends from asparagus. In a large bowl, combine asparagus and leeks. Drizzle olive oil over vegetables, and toss to coat. Add salt, and season with pepper; toss to combine.
- Place vegetables in a heavy roasting pan, and transfer to oven. Roast until vegetables start to turn brown and are fork tender, about 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and set on heat-proof surface until vegetables are cool enough to eat. When ready to serve, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus and leeks. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tight tips. Leeks should be white and firm, with no yellow or brown spots.
- Roast the asparagus and leeks before adding them to the frittata. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them tender.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will add a lot of flavor to the frittata.
- Don't overcook the frittata. It should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Conclusion:
Roasted asparagus and leek frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
