Read it through first

Skim all 5 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.

Scale it

Use the servings stepper above the ingredients and every quantity adjusts. Cooking times stay roughly the same.

Storage

Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheating

Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
