Method
1. In a food processor, combine beans, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil and garlic. Pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a large pot, bring salted water to the boil. Prepare a bowl of iced water and set aside. Add asparagus spears to boiling water
and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Remove asparagus from boiling water and transfer to ice water for 1 minute, to stop
cooking. Remove and allow to drain.
3. To make dressing, in a small jug, whisk olive oil, vinegar and sugar together.
4. Preheat a char-grill pan to medium. In a small bowl, toss prawns in extra oil. Char-grill prawns for 1-2 minutes each side, until just cooked through.
5. In a medium bowl, gently combine asparagus, prawns, dressing and parsley. Season to taste.
6. Spoon bean puree onto a large platter and top with prawn mixture. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve with grilled
bread or pita.
