This basic express recipe can of course be declined in a multitude of variants:if you prefer fish, opt for seafood and choose some squid breasts, langoustines and mussels that you will add to this recipe.
And if you're more of a meat lover, garnish it with chicken drumsticks and a few diced pork.
Bon appetit!
