Inspirations and top tips

  • This dish can also be cooked on top of the stove if you do not have time to do it in the oven – place all ingredients in a frying pan and simmer on low for 20 minutes with lid on, turn up to medium heat, remove the lid and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the meat is cooked
  • You can add carrot, squash, spinach or other vegetables of your choice to serve as a one-pot meal
  • Add spices and herbs of your choice for extra flavours - garlic, turmeric, thyme, black pepper and rosemary work well
