Combine asparagus with courgette and an express marinade based on French mustard, then put it in a preheated oven. You'll have a real feast for your taste buds on your table in no time.

Ingredients:

              
• 1 courgette,
• 1 tablespoon of salt,
• 8 green asparagus,
• 1/4 cup of olive oil,
• 2 garlic cloves,
• 1/3 cup of chopped parsley,
• 1 tablespoon of French mustard,
• Juice from 1/2 lemon.

Preparation:

Step 1. Prepare the courgette. Wash and dry the vegetable, then cut it into thin slices using a mandoline slicer.

Step 2. Next, sprinkle the prepared slices with salt and set them aside for 10 minutes. After that, press each piece with a paper towel to remove excess water accumulated on the vegetable.

Step 3. Take the preliminarily prepared courgette slices and wrap them around green asparagus.

Step 4. The last step is to prepare the express marinade. To make it, combine olive oil, peeled and pressed garlic cloves, finely chopped parsley, French mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. 

Step 5. Place the asparagus wrapped in courgette into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Using a kitchen brush, spread the previously prepared mustard-based mixture on top. The snack is ready to go into the oven for 10 minutes. The oven should be set to 200 degrees Celsius during this time.

Step 6. Garnish the warm snack with fresh rocket. And that's it, enjoy!
