I had my doubts about this one but it was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe exactly but didn't have veg stock so used beef instead. It's not one for a dinner party obviously, but for a quick, easy and wallet friendly family dinner it's got my vote!

I'm not the best of cooks so i was looking through recipes trying to find something easy i could make after a workout. Something that didn't take the whole night to prepare and cook. This is delicious - i even had my dad asking if i could leave him some to take to work the next day for his lunch! So…

I made this for my 3 year old and 8 month old as it seemed healthy although I didn't think I would like it. Easy to make but not only did I think it tasted awful so did both of my children. We won't be cooking that again. I don't seem to be able to rate on Android but it gets 1 star.
