"I have made this recipe so many times it has become ‘mine’ – pretty easy and totally delicious! See you next time I’m in Oz xx" Anneka Herdson.

I love this healthy, flavourful recipe - a great midweek one, but also one that can be doubled and tripled for an easy, make-ahead dinner party. Everything can be prepped well in advance and thrown together in a bowl to serve last minute. The recipe also stands alone as a vegetarian dish if you omit the seafood and would easily suit any other protein you like as noted below.

Another great cuzzy recipe that was provided in a booklet for my birthday.

Serves 2. DF.
