Method
1.
Halve the spring roll pastry lengthwise and brush each sheet with the melted butter. Cover a greased spring form with 2-3 cm diameter. Repeat with remaining pastry to form 12-16 rolls and bake in a hot oven at 340°-360°F until crispy. Remove from the form whilst warm and allow to cool.
2.
For the filling: whisk QimiQ Classic smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and continue to whisk until light and smooth. Fill into a piping bag. Pipe the filling into the pastry rolls. Tip: If the filling is too soft, refrigerate for 30 minutes before filling the rolls.
3.
For the dressing: blend all ingredients until smooth.
4.
For the salad: cut the tomatoes into thin slices approx. 3-4 mm thick. Cut the cooked asparagus lengthwise and marinate with the dressing. Marinate the lettuce with the dressing.
5.
Place the tomatoes onto serving plates and sprinkle with the dressing. Arrange the lettuce and asparagus on the tomatoes and top with the filled rolls. Tip: Smaller ralls can be served as fingerfood.
