Asparagus tart and fresh salad

What with my mum having a fractured radial head and all, I've been forced to do more of the cooking, which has turned out to be rather enjoyable. Yesterday, we had a great lunch - a filo pastry tart with a layer of caramelised onions making a floor for crumbled goats cheese and asparagus spears. We got the idea from a similar tart from Deliverance food company, but of course our home-made version was better! It was also really simple to make - the only horribly time-consuming bit was having to delicately and diligently chop the onion into tiny bits.


And for dinner, we tried out a salad from Peter Gordan's Salad book, which was delicious. A bed of rocket with prawns, avocado and grapefruit and topped off with pickled ginger (which we forget to put on :/) It was light and refreshing, and fairly simple to make, other than segmenting the grapefruit, which I found thoroughly challenging!
