Roasted Jumbo asparagus is such a satisfying green vegetable to enjoy. Seasoning it with our Escabeche blend full of coarsely ground coriander and fennel laced with saffron and lemon gives it a nutty flavor and texture, a lovely lemony balance, and gently floral depth from saffron. Spreading a layer of labne swirled with bright makrut lime leaf vinaigrette makes the dish uniquely delicious and addicting.
