Where do I get my inspiration for what to cook? When I lived in Melbourne, I would go to the local markets every Saturday morning and see what great produce would grab my attention. You can always find incredible and unique ingredients at markets, and sometimes the stallholders will give you some good inspo as well. I was back in Melbourne for a weekend with mates, so I went to South Melbourne Markets for inspiration and this is what I made.

White asparagus with serrano
Ingredients
- White asparagus, 3-4 spears per person as a side (if you can't find white asparagus this recipe also works well with green)
- 40g serrano ham per person
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tbsp honey
- Small bunch chives
- Salt to taste
Method
1. This recipe couldn't be simpler, start by getting a large pot of salted boiling water on the heat.
2. Mix the dijon, olive oil and honey and season with salt.
3. Cut the bottom of the asparagus off (3-4cm). Ff it still feels woody to cut through, you might need to take a little bit more off.
4. Place them in your seasoned boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until just cooked, but you still want them to have some bite.
5. Dress the asparagus with the dressing you made, then lay on the serrano ham and garnish with finely cut chives.
