Recipe Notes
Please note that the Cod in the picture adds a great protein balance to this dish. Enjoy
The Cod is not included in the recipe or the nutritional information.
TOPTIP : Don’t spend too long chopping/prepping, its going in a blender at the end anyway 🙂
If you’d like to add a little kick, then 1 tsp of cayenne pepper goes really well in this dish, but does mean it wouldn’t be nightshade free
