Spring is an exciting season for chefs and cooks. Out with slow cooked meats and heart warming winter dishes, make way for new season treats; morels and St George mushrooms, nettles and Wild Garlic, not forgetting the majestic Asparagus. British food is just waking up, yawning and stretching after a long winter.
This is a simple dish that has it all.
