Asparagus with dressings

This is a dish from Jamie's-30-minute-meals book. Jamie did not have a name for this dish, so I will call it Asparagus with dressings.

It is very simple to make. Since hubby loves asparagus, I cooked this over the weekend.

Here's the recipe to share..

Ingredients:

1 fresh red chili

1 clove of garlic

Soy sauce

1 lime

Sesame oil

Extra virgin olive oil

250g asparagus

1 head of broccoli   (I omitted)

Method:

1) Deseed and finely chop the chili, adding half to a large serving bowl and setting the rest aside. Crush the unpeeled clove of garlic into the bowl and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 4-6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and add a splash of sesame oil. Mix, taste and tweak with the soy sauce if needed.

2) Trim the asparagus stalks. Quarter the head of the broccoli lengthways from the head to the base of the stalk.

3) Fill the large saucepan with boiling water and add a large pinch of salt. Add the broccoli and asparagus, making sure they are completely submerged. Put the lid on and turn the heat to high. Boil till it is soft.

4) Drain the broccoli and asparagus in a colander, then tip into the serving bowl with the dressing, quickly toss and take to the table.

Absolutely yummy when it is serve hot. Try it!
