Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Toss the asparagus in a baking tray with a little oil and salt and pepper. Put the radishes into a baking dish with the butter and a drizzle of oil. Season and roast both for 12-15 minutes until just tender. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, lay the baguette slices on 2 baking trays, then drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Mix the olive oil with the crushed garlic and chopped parsley and season. Set the toasts and herby oil aside until ready to serve.
- Put the cheeses in an ovenproof frying pan along with the garlic and thyme, then drizzle over the dessert wine (or honey and olive oil). Set aside until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, heat the grill to high and put the cheese-filled pan under the hot grill for 10 minutes until melted and golden. Spread the herby oil on the toasts and serve with the fondue and roasted veg.
