Asparagus and morel salad with hot stone caraway vinaigrette and shaved pecorino

Juice of 1 lemon

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Caraway seeds

1/2 cup olive oil

1 bunch asparagus

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 oz morels, roughly chopped

Sea salt

2 oz pecorino, shaved

Flake salt

Put a 1 - 2 inch stone into the hot coals. Heat for at least five minutes. In a small bowl whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, garlic clove, dijon, and caraway seeds. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking.

Using tongs carefully add the hot rock into the dressing. It will immediately bubble up and steam so please be extremely careful.

Using a vegetable peeler, thinly shave the asparagus into a large bowl. The tips, which can be hard to thinly shave, can be cut into 1/2 pieces and added to the bowl.

Set a large cast iron skillet on a grill grate over the flames or directly on to coals. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and heat. Add the morels with a hefty pinch of salt. Sauté until deeply caramelize, about 5 to 7 minutes. At the last moment add the asparagus and cook just until their color brightens.

Return everything to the large bowl then toss with the dressing.

Transfer to a large platter then top with shaved pecorino and flake salt to finish.
