Asparagus in a Terrine

I have a recipe for a Pork and Chicken Terrine, and want to vary it a bit by adding a layer of asparagus. It cooks for 2.5 hours - can anyone advise as to whether I should blanch or cook the asparagus first, or will that length of cooking be OK to tenderise it? Cheers.

I've never used asparagus in a terrine, but I'd of thought it should cook in that time.

Yes, you should blanch it for a few minutes,depending on the thickness of the asparagus, and the refresh it in iced water and then use in your terrine.
