Ingredients

2 bunches of asparagus
2 tbsp rapeseed oil, plus extra to finish
1 tsp sea salt
60gm feta, crumbled
1 tbsp capers
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Black pepper

Method

1. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and discard. Toss the spears in the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Lay the asparagus in a hot griddle pan, placing them perpendicular to the ridges of the pan. Cook for 6 – 9 minutes, turning occasionally, or until just al dente and lightly charred.
2. Arrange the asparagus on four serving plates. Sprinkle over the feta, the capers, lemon zest, more pepper and a drizzle more of the oil.
