Asparagus or broccolini with capers, almonds and dill
In a flat try or shallow bowl use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus or broccolini with 1-2 tablespoons of oil, a cover with a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and cook asparagus or broccolini for around 8 mins or until looking slightly charred. Remove from pan and place into a serving dish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil on medium heat, add the almonds and fry, tossing frequently with a spatula until golden brown. After 1 to 2 minutes (reduce heat as needed to prevent the nuts from burning). Sprinkle almonds and oil evenly over asparagus or broccolini.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over high heat. Once hot, add the capers and fry, stirring continuously, until they have opened up and become crisp. This should be about 1 to 2 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove capers from the oil and sprinkle over the asparagus and top with dill. Using tongs, mix gently to combine, and serve while still warm.
