Steps:
- Wash the asparagus carefully and gently scrape them to remove all trace of soil. Tie together, according to size, with string. Put the asparagus into two inches of boiling, salted water. Cook, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, according to size; the asparagus should remain al dente. Drain and put into cold water briefly to cool rapidly and to maintain color. Drain on paper towels, then place on a round platter, tips toward the center.
- Prepare a sauce with the remaining ingredients. Place all the herbs except for the additional watercress in a blender, add the salt and pepper, and blend for a second. Add the lemon juice and then the oil in a trickle to the blender on low speed. Pour the sauce over the cooled asparagus. Garnish with the reserved watercress. Serve at room temperature.

I wanted to make a sauce for asparagus that would coat it with smooth, rich and tangy flavor. Not terrifically original, but darn tasty. Hubby loved it.

Steps:
- 1. Wash and trim asparagus, set aside. Very finely chop the shallots,thyme and parsley. Melt butter in microwave safe casserole long enough to hold the asparagus, saute shallots on high for 30-45 seconds until translucent and softened. Add juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper, 1/2 c broth, stir and place prepared asparagus in the casserole. Cook covered on high in the microwave for 2 minutes. Uncover and stir, recover and microwave for another 1 or 2 minutes. (These times are variable, depending how large the asparagus stalks, and how soft or firm you like your dish.)
- 2. Mix cornstarch into remaining broth Check firmness of asparagus and if done to your taste, remove from casserole and place on a shallow dish, If it needs a bit more cooking, leave in casserole. Add broth with cornstarch, lemon thyme and parsley, cook 1 to 2 more minutes until thickened. Replace asparagus in casserole if it was set aside to prevent overcooking. Stir gently to coat stalks, and add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze on a little more lemon juice if desired. You can also sprinkle a bit of lemon zest over it if you like.
- 3. Wonderful to serve with rice to catch the juices.

Steps:
- Wash asparagus and trim off bottom of stems by about 2 inches.
- In a large skillet, bring about 1/2-inch of water to a rapid boil. Season the water with salt.
- Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bright green and just tender.
- Drain the asparagus and place it immediately in a bowl of ice water to shock it. This will help the asparagus to retain the bright green color. Drain.
- Add butter to the skillet to melt. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Add the drained asparagus to the skillet. Toss to coat and heat. Serve immediately.

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.
