Mr B will vouch for this! I am addicted to....
Asparagus!
Last year, it was almost a daily treat, like a pregnancy craving for a whole month! I was known to send Mr B out on special spears expeditions! Go, Man, hunt/gather the pointy green stuff!Asparagus, Asparagus, Asparagus!
It seems a bit early but there is British, seasonal Asparagus in the shops now! In this case the lovely M&S again! 2 packets of the lovely stuff for £3!
I say once more, it is not that I have squillions of pounds....like most homes with small children we live on one salary....but I reason in my head:
Asparagus OR Marie Claire?
Hmmmmmmmmmm.....well I don't if this is a sad admission, but asparagus wins every time!
This was my lunch time bliss today!
Grab a steamer or a pan of water (you can boil them together), get water boiling.
Note time.
Place room temperature egg in water, pop on steamer, chuck in your asparagus (fibrous ends snapped off....if you are a glutton like me, you eat those too, raw!).
Time it! 4minutes!
Egg soft boiled to perfection, al dente asparagus (drop in a knob of butter and shake about in the steamer top)
Kitchen surface to your tummy in under five minutes!
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!x
