I live away from home a lot and have to be creative with my cooking if I want to eat healthy, nutritious meals and not rely on convenience foods. This recipe is simple, speedy and serves 3-4 people. Most importantly it’s done in one pot- minimises the washing up!
Loaded with nutrituous vegetables, beans and chickpeas, it was incredibly filling on its own but if you needed some extra carbs, this would be great with some simole cous cous on the side too.
