Wash produce before use

Sauté asparagus

Heat sauté pan on high. Rinse asparagus and pat dry. Trim off tough ends and drizzle with oil. Toss asparagus in hot pan with a pinch of salt and cook until soft and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Meanwhile:
*Peel and finely dice onion.
*Peel and trim carrots. Slice on an angle into 1/4-inch pieces.

Cook aromatics, prep salad:

In the same pan heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add thyme and carrots and cook until just soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in ras al hanout, lentils and 1/4 cup water. Reduce to a simmer and cook until all the water has absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. While that's going: Rinse frisee and shake dry. Trim off root end and separate leaves. Peel and mince shallot.

Make dressing

In a small bowl mix shallot with salad dressing and 2 tablespoons oil. Stir to combine and add a pinch of salt to taste.
