Waterblommetjies and Chicken

The Master of the House had to cook (again).  This is becoming an abit (If it is erbs, why not abit?)   I like a stew of  waterblommetjies with lamb.  When I brought home the waterblommetjies, I sensed that the Mistress was not in the mood for lamb.  She suggested chicken.  Clever husband that I am, I agreed.  And what a surprise!  Try this, we really enjoyed this one.  It is a much subtler dish where the waterblommetjies get the opportunity to play the lead role.
