    MMM.. This is something that looks lovely enough and easy enough for me to make for my dinner tonnight.  I will let you know how I get on, but so far it looks like it could be a high rating recipe.

    This was a nice summer dinner. I actually got 3 serves from the quantities. Due to personal taste preferences, I will leave the asparagus out next time.
