Ingredients
Method
Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and griddle the asparagus for about five minutes, or until charred on all sides
Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the vinegar and then stir the water to create a swirl. Crack the egg into the pan and allow to poach for 2-2½ minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain
To serve, place the asparagus onto a plate, top with poached egg and serve with rocket leaves on the side
