Ingredients
1 bunch asparagus
Truffle oil (if you have, otherwise extra virgin olive oil, chilli oil, lemon oil or other flavoured oil)

Method
1 Wash the asparagus and remove the woody ends of the stalks by bending near the base until it snaps. (Keep any asparagus trim to use in soup)
2 Take a vegetable peeler and peel strips of asparagus lengthways, so that each piece has some of the tip and some stalk
