6	Serve on their own, or to accompany poultry or veal, for example.

Remarks

As I mentioned in the introduction, many people add tomatoes, but this is not essential to the recipe and I really don't feel it improves on the basic defining flavours of the herbs and lemon.
If you'd like an even more distinctive flavour, add the lemon zest in stage 5.
