Crostini always make for a good choice! Not only do they make fantastic appetisers they also make for a delicious lunch or filling dinner. It’s a versatile recipe since it can be adapted to use up leftovers such as vegetables or stale bread. With this creation of a climate-friendly Crostini version we offer two different creations: 1) Roasted flavours of asparagus harmonising perfectly with fresh lemon. 2) Asparagus served with pesto giving it additional spiciness as well as adding a lovely touch of colour to the dish.
