Blistered Asparagus

This vibrant blistered asparagus dish is a sophisticated vegan side that brings a fresh, contemporary punch to your table. By searing the spears over a high heat in a frying pan, you achieve a beautiful char while retaining the vegetable’s natural crunch and sweetness. It is a wonderful way to celebrate the short-lived British asparagus season or to brighten up a simple midweek meal with bold, citrusy flavours.

Balanced with a savoury soy dressing and finished with toasted coconut and salted peanuts, this recipe offers a perfect contrast of textures. The addition of ginger and Fresno chilli provides a gentle warmth without overpowering the delicate greens. Serve it alongside steamed jasmine rice or as a standalone starter for a light but flavourful plant-based option.
