WHITE ASPARAGUS WITH MUSHROOMS

SERVES 2 St George mushrooms, small basket Olive oil White asparagus spears, 12, trimmed Butter, 100g Maldon sea salt Black pepper METHOD The St George mushroom is in sync with asparagus season – and while it won’t slay dragons, its selenium can slice into your cancer risk. Clean, trim and halve them before sautéing for five minutes in a little olive oil. Steam the spears for four minutes, add them to the mushroom pan with the butter and season with sea salt and pepper. Toss around once or twice and serve at once on pre-warmed plates.
