Bonus tip
This basic express recipe can of course come in a multitude of variations: if you prefer fish, opt for seafood and choose a few squid whites, langoustines and mussels that you will add to this recipe.
And if you're more of a meat lover, garnish it with chicken drumsticks and a few diced pork.
Enjoy your lunch !
