INSTRUCTIONS
Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus. Cut off the top inch of the stalks and cut the rest into inch length. Drop the shorter bits into salted boiling water, simmer for two minutes, then add the tips. Cook for a further 2/3 minutes, then drain, run under the cold tap, and drain again thoroughly. Dry-fry the pine nuts in a heavy pan over a high heat. Whisk the oil into the vinegar and season. Just before serving, poach the eggs. Toss the rocket and asparagus in just enough of the dressing to coat evenly. Arrange on two plates. Drape a slice of parma ham over each, scatter with pine nuts, nestle a poached egg on top and strew with flakes of parmesan.
