ASPARAGUS WITH CHUNKY TARTARE SAUCE AND APPLE MATCHSTICKS

Ingredients

• 100 g Cocktail gherkins, roughly chopped

• 100 g caperberries, roughly chopped

• 1/2 red onion, finely diced

• 1 cup good-quality mayonnaise

• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

• microherbs, to garnish

• extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

• 1/2 fresh lemon leaves

• 1/2 Granny Smith apple

• 4 Woolworths asparagus spears

Cooking Instructions

1. Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 30 seconds, or until tender. Plunge into iced water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry using kitchen paper.

2. Thinly slice the apple into rounds, then slice into matchsticks. Place in water with a little lemon juice to stop it from browning.

3. To serve, spoon the tartare sauce over the asparagus and scatter over the apple matchsticks. Drizzle with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with microherbs and season to taste.
