RECIPE
Asparagus, Sweet Peas and Fennel Sprouts with Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
Serves 4

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 small shallot, minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon capers, minced
1 bunch of asparagus, blanched
½ lemon sliced
2 cups shelled sweet peas
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fennel sprouts (can use the fronds if you don’t have any sprouts)
½ lemon, zested
Parmigiano-Reggiano
For the dressing: In a bowl, whisk the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, shallot, salt, pepper and capers: set aside.

Cut asparagus stalks on a long diagonal into ⅛-inch slices, leaving the tips. In a medium saucepan simmer well-salted water with lemon slices. Then blanch the asparagus tips and slices for 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and water to stop the cooking.

Drain the asparagus and place in a large bowl. Add the shelled peas, fennel sprouts and lemon zest and toss with the dressing.

Top with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano.
