Notes

In this recipe you can use white wine instead of red. You can also use double the lemon, in case you don't have wine. 
If you prefer to serve it with rice, that's great too. Take the potatoes out of the process and cook the rice separately.
You can serve with the vegetables of your choice, for example broccoli, brussels sprouts, or savoy cabbage, or even a salad.
As for herbs, you can also use thyme, coriander, or parsley.
