Asparagus Spears in Pastry

Innovative little treats to make on the braai, but also perfect baked in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes.

Makes 24

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 15-20 minutes

4 sheets phyllo pastry

100ml butter, melted

24 spears of asparagus, ends trimmed salt and pepper to taste

1 Cut the phyllo pastry into 24 broad strips. Brush with butter on both sides. Keep the remaining strips covered while you work to prevent them drying out.

2 Wrap the buttered pastry around the asparagus spears, scrunching gently as you go to secure.

3 Braai over medium coals until golden brown with nice dark griddle marks. Season to taste and serve immediately with the spicy yoghurt dip!
