Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Spread the tomatoes out on a large baking tray and prick each one with a fork. Sprinkle with olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and scatter with the garlic. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

  • step 2

    Lay asparagus flat in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Splash with 3 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roll the spears until they’re hot and evenly coated with oil.

  • step 3

    Remove tomatoes from oven and pour off the excess juice. Push tomatoes to one side of tray and lay asparagus next to them. Return to oven and roast for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the olives before serving warm or at room temperature. Vegetables can be done up to two hours before serving and kept at room temperature.

Lovely combination of summery flavours. (Used olive oil from a jar of sundried tomatoes).

This is such a great starter. I made it the other day as I needed to use up some asparagus and i thought it was so tasty and delicious even though it is so simple! I didn't have any black olives at hand and used bigger tomatoes but I think it worked out just fine! I have written about it on my blog…

Tried this starter the other week for a dinner party I was hosting! It went down as a great! Loved the tomato and garlic flavour. You got to be careful not to over cook the asparagus as the end up soggy! Going to make this again tonight for few friends.
