  My brother, a very good cook, made this as a starter. It was delicious! He baked the asparagus. tomatoes and garlic together before adding the olives and it worked fabulously! Off to buy some asapargus now to make it myself!

  I made this for a large bbq party we had last month. It was amazing, we couldn't get enough of it. Definitely one of my regular dishes now, especially when asparagus is plentiful and cheap as it is at the moment. I put the olives in quite late and it worked well. Anybody have any ideas for the gorgeous tomato juice you drain off half way? (dunking bread was v nice... anything more sophisticated?!)

  This was really lovely and very simple to make. Served with baked salmon and the crispy new potato bake on this site.

  A love this as a starter or side dish. I find vine cherry tomatoes are even better and look great as a little bundle (vine still attached) on top of the asparagus. Always a crowd pleaser, and its looks like I've gone to a lot of work!

  I used what I had available - a tin of cherry tomatoes & a jar of asparagus. Since these are already cooked, I did everything in a large frying pan in a few minutes & my wife was very impressed. I shall make sure that I have fresh ingredients next time!

  Tried this starter the other week for a dinner party I was hosting! It went down as a great! Loved the tomato and garlic flavour. You got to be careful not to over cook the asparagus as the end up soggy! Going to make this again tonight for few friends.
