Put it in a roasting tin, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt and shove in the oven for a bit. You can smear with butter if you prefer. Or both.<br /><br />Actually, some dried chilli flakes add a bit of zing, especially if your guests aren't expecting them.

The trimmings were supposed to go in the same direction but I ate them raw while I was waiting for the toast this morning.<br /><br />When I roast asparagus I do it with olive oil, but I use very little butter or oil. I save my fat ration for cheese.<br /><br />Nice links, Dave. Ian McShane is brilliant in Deadwood.
