    1/2 x 25g pack flat leaf parsley
    ¹/³ x 20g pack tarragon, leaves only

    Cook’s tip Try swapping the herbs used in this recipe for those you have to hand, or that you prefer. Other soft herbs such as dill, coriander, mint or Thai basil work well too. Just add them gradually when blending, to taste. Cooked prawns or other smoked fish, such as trout, would also work.
