Old asparagus, bit of chicken stock, few drops of sesame oil, and a pinch of herbes de provence.
[update] Simmered it in stock, added almost no flavouring and it was spectacular. Here's a rather plain-looking photo; I was rushing (ie starving) and didn't think to garnish it. I barely got a shot of it - if oyu look closely the photo's all blurry - too hungry!
It was really good and very digestible.
