- Blitz the sauce with a stick blender until smooth.

Swaps that keep this dish what it is. The prices on this page are for the recipe as written.
Gluten-free
- 40 ml Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce instead of worcestershire sauce
Nothing changes in the cooking.
Dairy-free
- 80 g Dairy-free cheese instead of reduced-fat cheddar
Dairy-free cheese melts more slowly, so give it an extra minute or two under the grill and watch that it does not scorch.
