JUNE 28

There is a small bundle of asparagus in the fridge. It is not enough for two, and whilst a plate of asparagus can be eaten as a lone, sybaritic feast, I am going to stretch my bounty so it will feed two.

There is leftover chicken in the fridge from the weekend as well. Again, hardly enough for two. Rice, so useful for stretching things – I once saw the tiniest amount of turmeric-yellow mangold wurzel stew stretched to feed about twelve workers in a rice paddy by the cook mounding up the rice beneath – is my first port of call. The dish is more interesting than expected, and turns out to be an excellent way of using up a quantity of cold roast meat from the weekend. Cold lamb or beef would have been good too, though I would probably swap the gentle aniseed charms of chervil for the more punchy notes of tarragon. This time I added small leaves of sorrel because I happened to have some, but they should be considered a treat rather than being essential to the recipe.
