Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6.

2. On a floured surface, roll the pastry out to a thickness of about 2mm. Cut out 2 heart shapes and place on a baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes. Keep warm.

3. Heat the oil and butter together in a medium saucepan. Add the garlic, leek, fennel and pancetta and cook for about 15 minutes.

4. Add the asparagus and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the asparagus is tender. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly add the cream and the tarragon.

5. Spoon the asparagus mixture into the centre of two plates and top each with a pastry heart. Sprinkle with chopped tarragon and serve immediately.
