Shaved asparagus, ricotta & pine nuts

Using a mandoline or peeler, shave the asparagus spears lengthways into fine slices. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, honey, vinegar and lemon zest and juice. Whisk in the olive oil, then stir in most of the red onion and mint leaves.

Fold in the shaved asparagus and season. Briefly fold through the pea shoots to coat in the dressing. Divide between 4 plates and add a dollop of the ricotta to each, along with a pinch of salt. Trickle over a little more olive oil, then scatter with the pine nuts and remaining red onion and mint. Add a grinding of black pepper and serve immediately.
