Tips and Comments
- An easy recipe but very satisfying, I find this works just as well as a winter warmer as a spring dish.
- Try adding mangetout peas and dairy-free soft 'cheese' substitutes for variations on a theme.
- Sprinkle liberally with fresh herbs in spring and summer or toasted pumpkin seeds in winter for a garnishy treat!
