Baked new potatoes

with wilted wild garlic

While wild garlic is available,

I binge on it – but if it’s not around,

or you’re not mad about the

flavour, use watercress instead.

1 Trim about two thirds of the

vegetable peeler and tip into a bowl.

saucepan and heat gently. Stir in
half the parmesan and keep warm.

asparagus for about 2 mins until
just cooked. Drain and tip into the
bowl with the asparagus ribbons.

sauce and the remaining parmesan.
Season to taste, then serve.
