It’s asparagus season here in the UK, so we thought we’d celebrate with a new, delicious way to eat this nutritious (and under-appreciated!) vegetable.

Try this Asparagus, Tarragon And Almond Pizza Bianco today. It won’t take long, but you’ll remember it for a while!

Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg. C., 350 deg. F., Gas Mark 4.
  2. In a bowl, combine the crème fraîche and Parmesan and a good grind of black pepper. Lay the flatbreads on baking sheets and spread with the crème fraîche, leaving a 1 cm (½ in) gap around the edge. Sprinkle with the almonds.
  3. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes until the crème fraîche starts to turn golden.
  4. Meanwhile, steam the asparagus for 5 to 6 minutes until just soft. Top the flatbreads with asparagus, add torn herbs and a few Parmesan shavings.
