Now’s the time to get mozzarella on the menu along with a good spring garnish. This recipe is a great example of the type of two- or three-ingredient dish I always recommend to people when they’re planning a dinner party. I like to make it with Somerset buffalo mozzarella and the new season’s asparagus.

Timings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Serves 

4 as a starter

Ingredients

  • 250g asparagus, woody ends removed
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped

  1. Slice the tips of the asparagus into fine dice then use a swivel-head peeler to shave the rest of the spears into strips.
  2. Put the shavings into cold water.
  3. Mix the diced asparagus with the spring onion, oil, vinegar and some seasoning.
  4. Break the mozzarella balls in half and place on serving plates.
