How to prepare asparagus bundles

In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the water and begin to knead. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and continue kneading until it becomes soft and smooth. Blanch the asparagus tips in salted water for approximately 3 minutes, then drain.

Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, to a thickness of approximately 3 mm. Cut the dough crosswise into eight strips. Brush each strip with oil and add the spring onion, asparagus tips and cheese. Roll each strip up to form a bundle and seal. Flatten with the palm of your hand, taking care not to let the filling come out. Cook over a medium heat in a deep-sided pan in plenty of oil. Cook the asparagus bundles on both sides until golden. Serve hot.
