I can't help myself, I'd probably add some baby carrots and broccoli to (a) add another pop of colour to the dish and (b) I just love my veggies!!

Yes i could use those, however it is not about the fat content of cream it is the lactose intolerance that has become much worse as I have got older. Cream is much more concentrated and the gastric reflux that I get from eating anything with cream is just horrible, obviously spoiling what was probably a tasty meal. Happily for me the intolerance does not include Greek Yoghurt just yet !!
