Rosehip Syrup Recipe From Foraged Wild Dog Rose Hips

This is not really a recipe, more a method for grilling or griddling your asparagus.

‘Our first recipe in collaboration with #Mental Movement, Dad’s super-food salad is part of our joint venture to understand how healthy food can help support “positive mental well-being”.’

‘A light but filling vegetarian salad which will leave you feeling satisfied and healthy inside and out.’

It’s the British asparagus season – make the most of it with this very simple combination: fresh asparagus from local fields and fresh peas from a pod, boiled and then quickly braised in butter, with lemon herbs and hazlenuts and kasha for a bit of crunch.

This is a classic Japanese way with soba and tempura. Strickly speaking the asparagus tempura is kaki-age, made like a tempura fritter rather than individual spears coated in tempura. But such academic details seem trivial when it comes to tempura – any tempura is amazing – especially asparagus!

Here is the simplest way to enjoy the flavour combination of asparagus and Parma ham – side-by-side.
