  • 2 bunches green asparagus, cut into 5cm lengths (S)
  • ¾ cup (185ml) thick cream
  • 1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced

2. In a bowl, rub the oil into the breadcrumbs, transfer to a baking sheet and bake for about 76 minutes, or until golden.

3. Plunge asparagus into a pan of lightly salted boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes, or until water bright green. Drain and refresh under cold water. Pat dry.

4. Combine cream with garlic in a small pan, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
