Method

Chop the spring onions and garlic and cook them in the butter until they are soft. Shred the lettuce and add it to the pan, stirring until it has wilted. Add the stock or water, bring to the boil and add the vegetables. Simmer with the lid off until all is cooked and tender but still vibrant and green. Season and serve.

Sundowners

‘Sundowner’ is a term from Britain’s colonial past, denoting a long, cool drink served in a highball glass and taken at sunset – an icy and alcoholic breather between a long hot day and dinner. Gin and tonic is the classic sundowner, and here are three others:

• Lime Rickey: fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in 2 oz gin and a squeeze of lime juice. Top up with club soda and stir, garnishing with a wedge of lime.

• Mint julep: muddle together 3 oz bourbon, 6 sprigs of mint and 2 tbsp of simple syrup in the bottom of a glass, crushing the mint. Add ice, then top up with club soda, stir, and garnish with a mint leaf.

• Moscow mule: fill a glass with ice and pour on 1½ oz vodka and 1 oz lime juice, then top up with ginger beer, stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
