Ingredients

Almond Ricotta
  • 150 g blanched almonds
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cups cold water
Asparagus
  • 150 g asparagus, cut in half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
Other
  • 4 slices bread
  • 1 tbsp syrup
  • 20 g roasted almonds
  • fresh mint

Instructions

  • Start with making the almond ricotta by adding all ingredients (almonds, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, garlic and water) to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. The consistency should be well-pureed with small bits of almonds still intact.
  • Toast the bread slices.
  • Meanwhile the bread is toasting, fry the asparagus by heating a skillet with oil to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook until fork-tender and slightly browned, about 10 minutes, turning the asparagus for even cooking. Season with salt to taste.
  • Assemble the toast by adding a generous layer of almond ricotta on top of each bread slice. Add the asparagus before topping with almonds and mint, as well as a drizzle of syrup.
