Dairy-Free and Delicious – Recipes to Get You Started

A luxurious taste of early summer – best when asparagus is in season, if at all possible!

Asparagus Gratinée
Allow 5-6 large spears per person, more if spears are thin

15-20 minutes: 5 minutes preparation, 5-10 minutes steaming, 2-3 minutes under grill.

Fresh asparagus spears, as above
2-3 handfuls of Marigold nutritional yeast flakes
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
Nice bread to accompany

  1. Cut away any hard parts from bottom of spears.
  2. Steam until cooked but firm (5-10 minutes).
  3. Spread tinfoil over bottom of a grill pan and place spears on it, side by side.
  4. Sprinkle yeast flakes over spears.
  5. Drizzle generous amounts of olive oil on top.
  6. Grill on full until gratinée is golden – takes approximately 2-3 minutes
  7. Transfer to individual serving plates, scraping any residue from tinfoil (add more olive oil if preferred).
  8. Serve with nice bread.
