Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from 3 large slices rustic bread)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce), plus more for serving

2 tbsp olive oil
2 Little Gem lettuces , quartered
50g peas
100g soft goat's cheese
small bunch dill or parsley

Steps:

  • Slice the bottom 2cm of the asparagus spears into thin rounds and set aside in a bowl with the lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are best for this dish as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes first: Boiling the potatoes before roasting helps to ensure that they are cooked through and tender.
  • Use a hot oven: Roasting the potatoes at a high temperature helps to create a crispy outer layer.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help to give the potatoes a flavorful crust.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done roasting when they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its bright green color and crisp-tender texture.
  • Cook the peas: Peas can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, or sautéing.
  • Make the vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is a simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
  • Assemble the dish: To assemble the dish, simply combine the roasted potatoes, asparagus, peas, and vinaigrette in a bowl and toss to coat.
