Ingredients
- 500 g of green asparagus
- 400 g of cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 handful of fresh basil
For the orange vinaigrette
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp of mild mustard
- 1 tbsp of agave syrup
- 4 tbsp of olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
Preparation
- Wash and cut off the whitest, hardest base of the asparagus, and if necessary peel them a little. Then, cut them into small pieces about 5 cm long.
- On the other hand, wash, drain and cut the tomatoes in half.
- Do the same with the basil and, once drained, remove the leaves from the stem and chop into large pieces.
- Next, pour a few tablespoons of oil into the Kuhn Rikon non-stick pan and heat it over low heat. When it's hot, sauté the asparagus until they take on some color.
- Add the tomatoes and leave for a couple of minutes on the heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To plate, place the asparagus on a tray, sprinkle with basil and drizzle with the orange vinaigrette (recipe below).
Orange vinaigrette
- Wash the orange well, finely grate half the peel and squeeze it to extract the juice.
- Do the same with the lemon (grate and squeeze it).
- Once the lemon and orange are ready, put all the vinaigrette ingredients in a blender (this is the peel and juice of the lemon and orange, the agave syrup, the salt and pepper, the oil and the mustard) and blend until you obtain a creamy sauce.
Notes
- You can serve this recipe either as a starter or as the ideal side for fish cooked on the griddle and seafood.
