charred asparagus on a bed of almond cream, served charred asparagus on a bed of almond cream, served with brown butter & toasted flaked almonds. absolute heaven. I think this might be the best dish I’ve made all year (all because I had some stale bread to use up and some fresh asparagus to cook!) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
for one⁣
⁣⁣
1. to make the almond cream, toast ~30g almonds in a dry pan while you soften ~10g of stale sourdough bread in ~35g milk and ~10g olive oil. blitz everything together in a food processor along with ~2 Tbsp lemon juice, some lemon zest, garlic powder, a smidge of Dijon mustard, salt + pepper. whizz on high until thick and nutty (taste & adjust for flavour and consistency)*⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2. next, melt a large pat of butter in a small pan. add a handful of flaked almonds to the pan and leave on medium-low heat until the butter is foaming and nutty, and the almonds have toasted and browned.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3. as the butter browns, char 5-7 fat spears of asparagus on high heat, adding a few splashes of water to the pan at the end to finish the cooking with a bit of steam. season with salt & pepper.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
4. to serve, schmear some almond cream onto a plate, lay the asparagus spears over top, drizzle over the brown butter, and scatter the flaked almonds onto the plate. finish with a bit more lemon zest on top, and enjoy :)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
*lots of approx. symbols because the most important thing here is that you make this how YOU like it, with what you have, and what you’re in the mood for — I rarely make the same thing the same way twice!
