Seared sesame asparagus

This is an easy side dish that is full of flavour. Blanching the asparagus first removes its toughness and searing with toasted sesame oil and seeds adds a nutty kick. The sea salt crystals at the end finish it off.

  • Rinse the asparagus and trim off the hard part of the stem.  
  • Blanch them in salted boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and cool them under cold running water to stop them cooking and retain the lovely green colour. Pat them dry with kitchen towel.
