Preparation
Trim the extra-fine asparagus.
Method
- 1 Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 (180°C for fan ovens).
- 2 Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in a roasting tin. Tuck in the garlic cloves and season.

- 6 Boil the eggs for 7 minutes.
- 7 Drain and refresh under cold running water, then carefully peel and cut in half.
- 8 Arrange the asparagus, black pudding, eggs and rocket on plates to serve.
