MOROCCAN SPICED ASPARAGUS SALAD with Tomato, Cherry Bocconcini & Spinach Dip ...

“It goes very well with a little baby spinach dip & can be presented with a serve of grilled sour dough ...."

Ingredients:

2 bunches fresh green asparagus spears
1 medium brown onion (diced small)
30ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Screaming Seeds ‘Marrakesh Magic’
1 punnet ripe cherry tomatoes
24 cherry bocconcini
30ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt flakes & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons spinach dip

Method:                    Serves  6

• Place the roasting dish above the two centre burners & turn just those 2 burners on high.

• Heat for 5 minutes, then turn down to low.  Add 30ml extra virgin olive oil to roasting dish & add the diced onions.

• Fry for 1 minute then add "Marrakesh Magic".

• Cook for 30 seconds then add the washed & trimmed asparagus spears

• Cook for only 3 minutes (so it's still a little crunchy) then transfer into a mixing bowl & carefully toss with tomatoes & cherry bocconcini. 

• Season with extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper

Serving Suggestion:  Serve as an entree with a spoonful of baby spinach dip & a serve of grilled sour dough.
