Jersey Royals with asparagus and lemon and chive mayo
This recipe is best with Jersey Royals, which are in season in spring and early summer and have a waxy texture and a subtle taste. This recipe is even better if you have time to make your own mayonnaise. Try it with poached salmon or sea trout, or grilled chicken.
