Ingredients
- 2tbsp, Olive Oil
- 200gms, Italian Hummus
- 1 Herbed Sourdough
- 100gms, Fresh Mozzarella/ Feta
- 50gms, Local Asparagus (Unblanched)
- 5ml, Balsamic Vinegar
- Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Preparation
FOR THE ASPARAGUS
- Cut the woody part of the asparagus (usually the bottom end)
- Finely chop the asparagus
- Transfer this to a bowl and season with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper
- Set aside
ASSEMBLY METHOD
- Slice the herbed sourdough into clean chunks (preferably lengthwise)
- Apply olive oil on both sides and start toasting it on a hot plate
Chef’s Tip: When toasting sourdough, splash a few drops of water around the slices. The steam released will help rehydrate the bread
- Once the bread is well-toasted, layer it with a generous dollop of hummus
- Top with sliced mozzarella or feta cheese (preferably a salty cheese)
- Add the marinated asparagus and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar
