Season to taste.
3. De-stone and slice your peach into 4 big chunks, peel and halve your shallots, and
finally snap the ends off your asparagus. Place into a mixing bowl, season and drizzle
with a little olive oil.
4. Sear on the pre-heated bbq to create that charcoal look and flavour, for a few
minutes on each side, and then remove from the bbq.
5. At the same time, place a tray on to the bbq and add your hazelnuts and peas to
toast and char.
6. To serve, spread your salsa verde on to a plate, top with the vegetables, peach
chunks, peas, toasted hazelnuts, and finally top with the pickled onions for garnish.
