Ingredients
  

For Rostis:

  • 3 medium Potatoes peeled
  • 1 White Onion chopped finely
  • 1 Garlic Clove chopped
  • 1 cup (128 g) Flour or potato flour
  • 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence
  • plenty of Black pepper

For Grilled Asparagus:

  • 2 bunches of green asparagus
  • olive oil
  • to taste Salt and Pepper

For Beet Puree:

  • 2 Raw Beets medium, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 150 g (5 1/2 oz) Chickpeas half a can, drained
  • 100 ml (3 1/2 oz) coconut milk

Instructions
 

To make Rostis:

  • Coarsely grate the potatoes
  • Put the grated potatoes into a dishcloth and squeeze out excess water
  • Add the grated potato, garlic, onions, herbs, flour and seasoning together. The mixture needs to be moist, but not wet.
  • Divide mixture into four (4) and pat into rounds
  • Pan fry in a generous amount of olive oil, on medium heat, for about 5 minutes each side
  • The edges should be crispy, the middle a bit soft, but the potato must be cooked through (test with a knife through the centre)
  • Drain the rostis on some paper towel to get rid of excess oil. Keep warm.

Grilling the Asparagus:

  • Heat the grill pan until very hot
  • In the meantime, trim the asparagus to get rid of the stalky ends
  • Pour olive oil over the asparagus and season well
  • Grill asparagus in the pan for about 5 minutes, keep turning
  • The aim is to get lovely chargrilled marks, but don’t overcook the asparagus – they should be lovely and crunchy

To make the Beet Puree:

  • Boil the beets until tender. See note.
  • Blend the cooked beets, fennel, chickpeas and coconut milk together (using a hand-blender or blender)
  • If necessary, add more coconut milk and olive oil a little bit at a time until there is a consistent puree

Plating the Dish:

  • Spoon the beet puree onto the plate, then place the rostis on/next to the puree.
  • Place the grilled asparagus on top, garnish with mint and chopped radish, and drizzle a little olive oil over the dish.

Notes

You can also use pre-cooked beets.
