Loaded with fibre and delicious betacarotene from carrots, plus plenty of flavour from garlic, chilli, nuts, rocket and anchovies. If anchovies aren’t your thing no problem just omit then and add in some nutritional yeast or parmesan but honestly you can’t taste them at all!!! Whipped this delicious recipe up whilst staying at The Greenhouse Retreats recently – such a beautiful kitchen to cook in – cherish it!
