Notes

Variations

  • Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of chilli oil.
  • Herby: Stir in chopped parsley, coriander or basil.
  • Smoky: A little smoked paprika or roasted garlic gives a gorgeous depth.
  • Zesty: Add extra lemon zest for more brightness.
  • Creamy upgrade: Blend in a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or crème fraîche.

Storage & Prep

  • Fridge: Keeps for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • Freezer: Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and stir in a touch of olive oil before serving.
  • Make ahead: Perfect for prepping in advance — the flavour improves after a few hours.
