Couscous, Asparagus, Broad Beans (2-4)

An easy seasonal recipe from Nigel Slater. It serves 2 as a main course but would serve 4 as a side. I replaced the plain couscous with a quick cook packet of Moroccan couscous. I think a packet of Lemon and Coriander Couscous would work well too.

Asparagus, New Potatoes, Halloumi (2-4)

This is a great recipe for April when the first of the English Asparagus and new potatoes are in the shops. Its from ” Three Good Things” by Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall.

Asparagus and Cashew Stir Fry (2)

The first of the english grown Asparagus is now starting to appear in the shops and I am always looking for new ways to cook it. This is a super quick supper from Anna Jones that you can serve with rice or noodles. Make sure everything is prepared before you start frying.

You can replace the asparagus with some purple sprouting broccoli for a variation.
