320g pack puff pastry sheet
2 x 100g packs asparagus tips
8 rasher/s unsmoked British streaky bacon
2 tsp clear honey
½ tsp nigella seeds

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7 and put a baking tray in to heat up. Remove the pastry from the fridge for 10 minutes. Divide the asparagus tips into 8 bundles (2-4 tips each, depending on thickness), then wrap a bacon rasher around each bundle, starting at the bottom and winding so it overlaps slightly, to just below the tips.
Unroll the pastry. Cut half into 8 equal strips, starting from one of the shorter edges. Rewrap and chill the remaining half. Wind a pastry strip round each asparagus bundle in a spiral, leaving gaps as you go, and the asparagus tips exposed.
Brush the pastry with honey, then sprinkle over the nigella seeds and a pinch of sea salt flakes. Transfer to the hot tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden and the asparagus lightly charred.
