Asparagus Charlotte With Goat Cheese Mousse And Smoked Salmon

1. 1

   Trim the ends off two bunches of asparagus. Cut the trimmed asparagus to the height of your pan or mousse ring, keep the stalks that you trimmed off. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the asparagus tips and the stalks in the salted water. After about 5 minutes, remove the tips. You want them to be just barely cooked and still have a decent crunch. Continue to cook the stalks for about 20 minutes, so they are very tender. Cut the asparagus tips in half lengthwise then arrange them standing up around your pan or mousse ring
