Asparagus with tarragon salsa verde
Make the most of the brief British asparagus season, with this little treat
Difficulty and servings
Serves 4
Preperation and cooking times
Ready in 10 minutes- Cook the asparagus in salted, simmering water in a deep frying pan until tender - how long this takes will depend on how thick the spears are. They should be tender enough to just bend under their own weight when held at one end.
- Meanwhile, whizz the remaining ingredients except the oil and bread - you can make the mixture chunky or fine. Add enough oil to make a thick but spoonable dressing and season. Serve with toasted sourdough.
