Ingredients – Advice & key points
- Get your Sharmoula recipe here.
- Warning : This is a seasonal recipe. I recommend making it in late spring, to get your hands on tasty wild asparagus and cherry tomatoes.
- If you can’t find wild asparagus, replace them with classic asparagus ! Simply cut them into chunks & add ~5 more minutes of cooking time.
- When in winter or summer, feel free to play around with the ingredients used !
- In winter, if you’re not wary of the double-carbs thing -I know I’m not !, I’d recommend a carrot-potato version ; of course, adjust the cooking time accordingly ;
- In summer, I’d gladly make a red bell pepper-potato or red bell pepper-zucchini version.
