Description

This is such an elegant spring dish, which makes the most of tender white asparagus. The spears are cooked until just tender and served with salty serrano ham and a nutty dressing. We love the slightly sweet, mustardy dressing on this dish, which is light but full of flavour.

  1. Prepare the white asparagus by removing around ½ inch from the woody end of each spear, then peeling almost to the tip using a vegetable peeler.
  2. Cook the asparagus for around -8 minutes in boiling salted water, or until just tender.
  3. Combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustards, honey, some salt and olive oil in a jam jar or bowl and shake or whisk to emulsify.
  4. Lightly toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan and chop roughly.
  5. Arrange the white asparagus on a plate, top with the serrano ham and pour the dressing over. Scatter with the chopped hazelnuts and chives.
