Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Grease the baking dish and set aside.
2. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, cook the asparagus for 1-2 minutes until al dente, rinse under cold water, drain, cut them into 2-3cm pieces and set aside.
3. Peel the potatoes and dice them into bite-sized pieces. Put them in a saucepan, cover with water, add 2 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Then reduce the heat, cook the potatoes for 8 minutes, drain and set aside.
4. Finely chop the parsley and mixed herbs. Cut the spring onions into rings. Crumble the goat's cheese.
