Hey, yeah. It should have a note next to it saying I used garlic and herb but doesn’t seem to be there. Sorry. I’ll sort that now. Either will work fine though ☺️

I use the roasted red pepper paste from marks and Spencers, I’ve had it from Sainsburys too. Red pepper pesto works really well too ☺️

How much is 1 jar of the paste? It can be big and small. Please always tell the exact amount, and not "2 steaks " like in another recipe, it's too unclear. Even if this recipe has for example 100 grams of pepper paste, l can still adjust it a little bit. But l cannot guess how much a jar is. Depends on the brand and where you buy it :)

Hi Hanna, you’re absolutely right! I’ll get that amended now. The jars I’ve used previously were both 180g. Sorry about that.
