Toasted sandwiches crammed with delicious ham and crisp asparagus are an impressive hit at a gathering.
24 asparagus (about 150g), trimmed at ends then halved
4 large slices quality ham, cut into thirds, or 6 smaller slices, halved
50g soft salted butter
Squeeze of lemon juice
12 slices of wholemeal bread
Cook the asparagus for 1-2 minutes in boiling salted water.
Drain well on kitchen paper.
Using 4 asparagus for each portion, roll these up in a slice of ham.
Mash the butter with some black pepper and the lemon juice in a pestle and mortar.
Spread the slices of bread with a little of the lemon butter, then add an asparagus and ham wrap to each 2 slice portion and fry in batches in a non-stick pan light greased with a little oil on kitchen paper.
Press down gently on the sandwiches as they cook.
Flip to lightly brown the other side.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
