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.

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND THYME
Come springtime, when stalks of asparagus shoot up from the ground (as if they're celebrating with us!), there isn't much to do to make this easy side dish shine. First, a sauté in the skillet with olive oil, garlic, and thyme coaxes out the natural sweetness of the asparagus, while finishing it with a quick steam until the stalks are crisp-tender locks in vitamins like A and C.

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH CURRIED TOFU AND TOMATOES
This is a Deborah Madison recipe that my family enjoys. It's a visually striking dish, with the vibrant yellow tofu, sauteed asparagus green and the red tomatoes. We like this served with steamed rice. I always take the time to fuss over the tofu saute step, individually hand placing every square of tofu, but I'm obsessive like that. I know it doesn't need that kind of over - involvement to taste good. I also tend to peel my asparagus stalks if they show any signs of being tough or woody.

Steps:
- Dice the tofu into pieces the size of sugar cubes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add in the tofu cubes and reduce the heat.
- Simmer for two minutes. Carefully drain (the tofu is a bit fragile at this point) and then gently pat dry. Toss the cubes with 1/2 teaspoon salt, ground black pepper to taste, the sugar, turmeric, and curry powder. (sometimes I lay the tofu out on a plate and sprinkle the seasoning on, turning the tofu to get all the sides covered rather than "tossing").
- Saute the seasoned tofu in the 2 tablespoons oil, heated, over medium high heat until golden but still tender. turn the tofu so that all the sides are colored. Remove the cubes to a plate, covered to stay warm, and return the skillet to the heat. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the 2 teaspoon of oil to the pan, and when it's hot, add in the onion, garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin. Cook until the onion is translucent. Turn the heat to high, and add in the asparagus, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Saute until the asparagus is tender but not limp, and a beautiful bright green. The timing will depend on the thickness of the stalks. Add in the tomatoes and the tofu, saute to heat through. Turn off the heat and add in the cilantro or parsley and the remaining cumin (if needed).
- Serve immediately.

BLACK PEPPER STIR-FRIED TOFU AND ASPARAGUS
This fast, one-skillet stir-fry dinner combines vibrant spring vegetables with hearty tofu in a rich and spicy black-pepper sauce. (Use freshly ground pepper, if possible, for the ideal combination of flavor and heat.) The tofu is simmered in the fragrant sauce, which is spiked with aromatic garlic and ginger until it has absorbed all of the flavors and is nicely glazed. This recipe is perfect for using up that pencil-thin asparagus, which cooks quickly and toes the line between crisp and tender, while sweet snap peas balance out the assertive sauce. The dish can be served over baby spinach or in lettuce cups instead of with rice for a satisfying salad.
