Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  • Heat 15ml of oil in a pan and fry chopped onions for 5 minutes until caramelized.
  • Heat remaining 15ml of oil in a separate pan and fry mushrooms with herbs until soft.
  • Drain any excess liquid from the mushroom mixture.
  • Blend cooked onions, mushrooms, herbs, and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth.
  • Transfer the mousse into a piping bag.
  • Pipe the mousse into the roasted courgette hollows.
  • Top each with an asparagus tip and sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts to serve.
