Cook’s tips

  • If you’re not cooking for vegetarians, you can use chicken stock instead for a bolder flavour.
  • When processing in a blender, remove the centre cap from the blender lid and cover with a tea towel to allow steam to escape. Just make sure you hold the tea towel in place as you process. Also, ensure your blender is no more than half full.
