Chef notes

This is one of the simplest and most nourishing recipes. It only takes ten minutes to put together and it's wonderfully filling and comforting.  It's a great dish to make if you're feeding lots of people too as it's no more complicated to make for twelve then it is for two. It requires almost no chopping, so you won't be in the kitchen for hours!
