Season while you go. Add chicken stock and reduce to a glaze and repeat the process twice. Add enough stock just to cover the mixture, zest from one lemon and 100 grams of chopped parsley bring to a simmer and 500 grams of cream and bring back to a simmer  adjust seasoning and acid with lemon juice.
