Baked Asparagus with Wild Garlic Salsa Verde.

 

Trim the woody ends from the asparagus then peel off the tougher outer skin at the base of the spears.

Roll in olive oil, add a few small dabs of butter too and season.

Place in a pre heated oven to bake at 180 degrees timings vary depending on the thickness of the spears but usually 8-12 mins.

While the asparagus is baking add wild garlic leaves, mint, capers, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard and a small amount of good vinegar to a bleder and blitz into a paste.

I also added some garlic mustard (jack by the hedge), another edible foraged plant I found close by the wild garlic, you could also add other foraged edibles or other soft herbs such as tarrago, parsley or chervil.

Serve with the  baked asparagus
