Abundance of asparagus

[vancheese]

A friendly farmer has given us a couple of boxes of bent asparagus and I was wonder if people had a suggestion for recipes
So far I've tried
1. Soup (cream & without)
2. Chicken and aspargus pie
3. asparagus soldiers in egg

Has anyone got any other ideas before I eat soup for the next 30 years?

Asparagus risotto. Use the woody bit you break off the bottom to make the stock and bung the tender stalks into the rice in the last few minutes before serving. (Salivating at the thought of it!)
