Quick, easy, delicious… I have used blended up silken tofu or soy cream to make this creamy and dairy-free.

Used cream cheese instead of cream and added petit pois for sweetness. Finished with toasted pinenuts. Delicious

Delicious fresh testing recipe and really quick to make. Good balance of a little bite from the chilli, garlic and pepper and that freshness from the lemon and basil. The Quorn pieces have a very similar texture to chicken and absorb the flavours well.
