Options

  • If you do not have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried.
  • To cook for two people, use a big pan and double up on the recipe. When cooked, plonk the pan on a chopping board on the table and serve straight from the pan.
  • For something a little different, add mushroom, spinach or kale, or anything else that is lurking in your fridge to add flavour and extra vitamins.
  • Get creative with additional herbs and spices to create different tastes and health benefits.
