Instructions
Step 1
Bring a 4–qt. saucepan of salted water to a boil; cook asparagus until tender, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water until cold; drain. Line a 10″ cake pan with plastic wrap, leaving 4″ hanging over edges; set aside.
Step 2
Place half the stock in a large bowl; sprinkle in gelatin and let sit 10 minutes. Bring remaining stock to a simmer in a 1-qt. saucepan; whisk into gelatin mixture. Stir in cheeses, parsley, chives, dill, bell pepper, salt, and pepper; fold in crab. Spoon mixture into prepared pan; fold edges of plastic wrap over top and chill until firm, at least 1 hour. To serve, unmold onto a serving platter and discard plastic wrap; arrange asparagus over top and sides and garnish with sliced tomato, if you like.
