Ingredients

• 2 Lebanese flatbread, folded and cut into 5cm pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 bunch large, thick asparagus, trimmed
• Shavings of parmesan, coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, dried chilli flakes and capers, to serve
• Tonnato
• 230 gm canned tuna in olive oil, drained (see note)
• 1 tbsp capers in vinegar, drained, plus extra to serve
• 2 anchovy fillets
• Juice of 1 lemon (or to taste)
• 1 small garlic clove
• 150 ml mild olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   1.: Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss flatbread in olive oil and scatter in a single layer over two oven trays. Bake, swapping trays halfway, until golden and just crisp (8-10 minutes).

   3.: For tonnato, process ingredients (except oil) in a food processor or blender until combined, then, with the motor running, gradually add oil until smooth. Season with salt and lemon to taste. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with oil, top with parmesan, parsley, chilli and capers and serve with flatbread and asparagus.
