Steps
Steps
- 1Bend each asparagus spear until it snaps and discard the woody ends: the spear breaks exactly where it turns tough.
- 2Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, cool them in cold water, peel and chop roughly.
- 3Blanch the asparagus in well-salted boiling water for 2–3 minutes, depending on thickness, until bright green and just tender. Plunge straight into iced water to stop the cooking, then drain, pat dry and cut on the diagonal into 4 cm pieces.
- 4Whisk the lemon zest and juice with the mustard, salt and pepper, then whisk in the oil.
- 5Slice the radishes thinly and toss them with the asparagus, rocket and most of the dressing.
- 6Arrange on a platter, scatter over the egg and chives and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
