This great dish is hot and fast. Hot? The red chilli is guaranteed to raise the temperature! Balance the heat of the chilli by seasoning with lime juice and salt to taste. If you want to make this even more herby add some chopped tarragon as well. It’s a perfect light spring or summer starter but if you want to serve it as a more substantial main course simply add slices of cooked chicken to bulk it up a bit.
