Time 25m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 asparagus spears , woody ends removed
drizzle olive or rapeseed oil
6 slices prosciutto
handful rocket leaf
12 semi-dried tomatoes
100g cream cheese
100g soft rindless goat's cheese
1 tbsp milk
6-8 toasted hazelnuts , chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle pan. Drizzle the asparagus with a little oil, season and cook for 3-4 mins, rolling around the pan until just tender. Leave to cool.
  • Lay a slice of prosciutto on your chopping board. Put 3 asparagus spears on top, with the tips poking out the end, then top with a few rocket leaves and 2 semi-dried tomatoes. Roll up the prosciutto tightly to enclose the filling and put in a sealable container for transporting. Continue until all the ingredients are used up.
  • Mash the cream cheese and goat's cheese together in a bowl with a fork. Season and add enough milk to make a smooth consistency, into which you can dip the bundles. Transfer to a pot for travelling and sprinkle over the hazelnuts.
