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.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

How to heat plates
In restaurants serving "à l'assiette", wich means that your dish is presented already served on a plate, it's very important for the plates to be hot, otherwise dishes arrive cold and it's the customer that (rightly) becomes heated. At home it's worth doing the same thing: you are sure to serve hot dishes to your guests, and as a hot plate can wait longer than a cold one, it can sometimes help to avoid panic in the kitchen at serving time. Here are some simple ways to heat your plates.
