Recipe: Early Summer time Hen Tray Bake

Nothing says ‘simple entertaining’ like a one-tray bake. And when it incorporates seasonal substances, all the higher! We love baking asparagus, because it provides a completely completely different flavour to serving it steamed.

Additionally, this dish is definitely made-vegan by swapping the rooster thighs for a drained jar of Daring Bean White Beans after the potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes.
