My mind is blown. This is like green magic on a spoon. Use it instead of mozzarella in a caprese salad, serve it warm with braised meats, as a spread for bruschetta for a quick appetizer- or, if you're like me, on the biggest spoon you have, straight into your pie hole.

I thought the sweetness of the scallops and butternut went well with the earthy flavor of the peas. The touch of citrus gives the dash of acidity to bring it all together.

Made this as an alternative to a sunday roast, haven't used chicken legs for years and so glad we picked these up. Excellent value for money and so much flavour with lots of meat.
