Method
- Grab a saucepan and melt the butter and oil together, then fry the asparagus tips for a few minutes until just soft. Remove from the pan and set to one side.
- Add the shallots to the pan along with the chopped asparagus stalks and garlic, and cook over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes until soft. Stir in the spinach and pour in the stock, then bring to the boil.
