Sesame manouri & asparagus salad

Spoon the zaatar into a dry frying pan set over a medium heat and fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Tip into a large bowl and whisk in 2½ tbsp oil, plus the lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and set aside.

Heat ½ tbsp oil in the same pan and fry the asparagus for 3-5 minutes, stirring, until golden and tender. Tip onto a plate, season with salt and set aside.

Tip the sesame seeds onto a small plate, then press each side of the manouri block into it, until coated. Set the frying pan back over a medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tsp oil and fry the cheese for 3-5 minutes, turning once, until golden on both sides. Toss the asparagus, little gem and radishes in the zaatar dressing, then spoon onto a serving platter. Cut the cheese into wedges and arrange on top.
