“We all have our own favourite ways of eating this,” says Di, who has three children, Milan, Kobe and Grayson, with husband Jerome.
“Jerome likes his with hot chilli sauce, whereas Milan just likes the mince in the lettuce leaves. Kobe and I will eat it with the yoghurt and hoisin.
“Whichever way you choose, it’s great to enjoy a meal all together.”
Whip this up in just 15 minutes and you’re good to head out into nature and spend some quality time with those who matter.
