It's the fourth and final week of the HerFamily.ie 30 Day Bikini Body Blitz and we're firmly on the home straight. So much so that (maybe for the first time ever) we're reluctant to ruin all our hard work by scoffing something naughty. But all work and no play makes Jenny a dull girl, right?
Clement Pavie, the Musgrave MarketPlace Head Chef, has come up with a stunningly simple and utterly delicious dish that can be cooked in the oven or on the barbecue if the weather's good. Invite some friends 'round, kick back and serve them this surprisingly healthy summer dish.
