This asparagus and tomato side dish is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. Most of the work can be done ahead of time, so it's perfect to accompany large, time-consuming meals. The asparagus can be reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. This preparation also works well with green beans.
