Method

1. Rinse your asparagus. Shake dry. Cut into 2-3cm bits at a diagonal. Set aside.
2. Mix the spices, chilli and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Pour the oil into a small saucepan over high heat.
4. Cut about 6cm off the top of the leeks/spring onions and trim the rooty end. Halve lengthways. Slice into thin wisps. Toss with a pinch of salt and the flour. Shake off excess flour in a sieve.
5. Deep fry the leeks/spring onoins till just golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Use the sieve to shake off excess oil. Toss with a little salt. Set aside.
6. Heat a large frying pan. Toast the spices till fragrant. Add the asparagus and a little oil/butter. Mix and cook for a couple of mins to soften the asparagus. Grate in some lemon zest. Squeeze in a good bit of juice.
7. Taste. Adjust seasoning. Pile onto a plate. Scatter the crispy leeks/spring onions over the top.
