Hi, Is 125g of jalapeños correct, perhaps it's 25g? I put in 60g which seemed a lot, it overpowers the other flavours in the sauce and can no longer taste the parsley or spring onion. Could you also please amend the method to say to reserve a few parsley leaves for the end, as it all went into the sauce. A nice recipe other than that :)

Hi Sophie! Yes, 125g is correct - but you can decrease the amount if you'd rather have less :)

Super tasty lunch box meal, would also be great for picnic or BBQ dish! The jalapeno dressing had a real kick, i added another dollop of yogurt when i ate mine. Used one tin of canellini beans and one tin of chickpeas, and kale instead of cavelo nero. Think it would work with anything. If i make again (in the hurry of getting it made quickly inbetween childcare) I'd just do regular cooked quinoa unless the oven was on especially. If i was serving there and then the crispiness would a bonus but its delicious without that too!

Really tasty really easy. I baked the chicken given the oven was already on. So good!

Swapped out the beans for lentils and cavolo nero for kale, great tasting salad, jalopenos add a nice zing to it!
