Description
Celebrate the first of the new season’s asparagus with this easy starter. You can use only green asparagus, or include white and purple spears.
Method
Step 1 of 3
Trim the asparagus. In a large frying pan, add water to a depth of 5cm and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add a little salt. Blanch the asparagus, starting with the white and purple spears, if using, for 7 minutes. Then add the green spears and cook for a further 3 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
Step 2 of 3
Dry the pan and add the oil. Fry the asparagus in a single layer, in batches, for 5 minutes, until a little charred. Remove from the pan and arrange them on plates.
Step 3 of 3
Place a generous tablespoon of aïoli on each plate and scatter over the basil, dill, and tomato. Season with a little pepper and serve immediately.
