Elevate asparagus with parmesan crisps and caper dressing for a gourmet side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 125g parmesan, finely grated
  • 20.00 ml plain flour
  • 3 bunches green asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 bunches pencil leeks, trimmed
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • 500.00 ml baby spinach leaves
  • 20.00 ml baby capers
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp coarsely chopped thyme leaves
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 190ºC. 2. Mix parmesan and flour in a bowl. 3. Place a 7.5cm round pastry cutter on a baking paper-lined oven tray. 4. Fill with 1 tablespoon of parmesan mixture, then gently remove the cutter. 5. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make around 20 frico. 6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the frico turns golden. 7. Allow them to cool on the trays. 8. Store the frico in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Preheat a char-grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine asparagus and leeks with oil. Grill vegetables in batches for 6 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are tender.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the asparagus, leeks, and spinach beautifully on plates. Top with a delicious drizzle of dressing and serve with a side of crispy frico. Enjoy!
