Ingredients
2 x 125g packs Asda Extra Special Asparagus
6 large free-range eggs
2 x 90g packs Asda Extra Special Samphire
50g Asda Extra Special Parmesan, shaved
Crusty bread, to serve
Method
1
Bend the asparagus stems until they snap. Discard the woody ends.
2
Place the eggs in a large pan and add enough cold water to just cover them. Bring the water to the boil, then simmer for exactly 3 minutes.
3
Using a slotted spoon carefully remove the eggs from the pan and place in a bowl of cold water. Carefully peel the shells from the eggs.
4
Bring another pan of water to the boil and add the asparagus. Bring back to the boil and cook for 1 minute. Then add the samphire and cook for a further minute.
5
Drain the asparagus and samphire and season with a little black pepper (the samphire is quite salty so you won't need any salt).
6
Divide the asparagus and samphire between the serving plates and scatter over some of the Parmesan.
7
Place an egg on top of the vegetables and gently cut open. Serve with more Parmesan, ground black pepper and crusty bread.
