Grilled Summer Asparagus Salad with Parmesan, Cherry Tomatoes and Prosciutto

Ingredients

Serves 2 portions

For the Dressing

  • 1 ½ Tbsp white miso
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 ½ Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp ginger, grated
  • ½ tsp garlic, grated
  • 1 Tbsp roasted sesame oil
  • 1½ tsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Asparagus

  • 150g asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, just enough to coat asparagus
  • Sea salt, to taste

For the Salad

  • 30g mache (lamb’s lettuce)
  • 20g pea shoots
  • 1 handful of parsley leaves or mixed herbs
  • 100g mixed cherry red and golden tomatoes, halved
  • ½ conference pears, peeled and sliced thinly into ½ cm pieces
  • 2 Tbsp almond flakes, toasted
  • 2 Tbsp edamame beans, blanched and skin removed
  • 40g aged parmesan, finely grated
  • 2 rashers of prosciutto ham
  • 1 Tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. First make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, lime juice, and sesame seeds. Season with black pepper to taste and set aside.
  2. Place a griddle pan over medium high heat. In the meantime, toss the asparagus with olive oil to coat and sprinkle with sea salt generously on a tray or plate. Place the asparagus on the hot griddle pan in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning the spears as necessary. Cook until slightly charred and tender.
  3. Place the salad leaves, pea shoots, and parsley (or any mixed herbs) in a large bowl. drizzle some of the dressing over and toss lightly to coat.
  4. Divide the salad between two places and top with tomatoes, pears, almond flakes, edamame beans, asparagus, and prosciutto ham. Scatter over parmesan and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle more dressing on top, if you like, and serve immediately.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhat if I told you…I eat out a lot as a chef. 👩🏻‍🍳

And @legado_ldn is my new favorite Spanish restaurant in London. 🇪🇸

From @nieves_barragan1 , the Michelin-starred chef behind Sabor, Legado (meaning legacy) celebrates Spain’s regional flavors with heart, soul, and precision.

We kicked things off with their signature three-sip serves, each inspired by a different region, before diving into Quisquillas de Cádiz — delicate blue-belly prawns dressed in citrus, sesame, and coriander olive oil.

Then came the piquillo goat’s cheese tempura…light, crispy, creamy…truly addictive!

The showstopper? Segovian suckling pig. Golden crackling, tender meat, and so soft it’s carved tableside with a plate.

Rounded out with chicory with anchovy and Manchego, tomato with bottarga, and prawn-stuffed squid in ink sauce.

And to finish, the Pastel Vasco with sour cherry jam…buttery, flaky, and just tart enough to keep you wanting one more bite. 🍒

@legado_ldn @nieves_barragan1 thank you so much for the incredible meal! Can’t wait to see what’s next on the menu. ❤️👩🏻‍🍳

📍 Legado | Shoreditch, London

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageCarbone’s Spicy Rigatoni is the pasta that broke the internet. 🍝🔥

Creamy, fiery, and unapologetically indulgent. The kind of pasta everyone tried to recreate at home.

And when Gigi Hadid shared her own version during lockdown? Game over. The world fell even harder for that glossy vodka sauce. 

My twist? A spoonful of gochujang for depth, fish sauce for umami, and a splash of soy sauce for that extra savory edge. 

It’s Carbone’s iconic rigatoni…with a Seoulful kick.

Creamy, spicy, umami-packed…pure comfort food that crosses continents.

Tag your pasta-obsessed friend 👇

Did you know:  Rigatoni means “ridged or lined” in Italian. These lines help the sauce cling to the paste ensuring each bite is full of flavor!

Drop a “🔥” for the recipe!
