Flavoursome and easy to prepare.
Initially, I prepared the dish as is and found it a bit bland. This changed with added sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and additional ‘soaking time’ (approx 30 mins).

I tripled the recipe to serve 15 people as part of a buffet. None left but definitely needs a good amount of seasoning

I made this to serve alongside some salmon and the lemony flavours worked really well. I was a bit concerned that my husband wouldn't be keen as he's not a fan of parsley but it went down very well.

I've made this several times. It is so quick and easy. Makes a delicious side dish. Is best with a good amount of parsley, and I add a little extra lemon to taste and of course - seasoning is a must!!
