    Cook's tips

    Try adding 100g frozen peas with the onion for extra colour and texture. Delicious served cold as a salad.

    Drinks recommendation

    Flavour and texture combine in this dish, suiting a white that’s fairly full-bodied but still with plenty of freshness. Try Domaine Begude Chardonnay 2008 Limoux, South of France.
