Super quick and utterly delicious! An easily modifiable recipe to use up any veg leftovers. This will definitely be made in repeat.

Easy to make & easy to source ingredients. Tastes good as is or you could add your own flair some red wine vinegar

Great flavour and texture, had it with wholewheat pasta, was so delicious, I’ll be making it for guests.

Lovely dish, I didn’t have any frozen veg so steamed broccoli and add at the end with fresh coriander, great flexible dish!

Julie Last month

Delicious, quick and tasty . Used soy milk instead of coconut milk with chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Recipe worked perfectly

I put the chilli flakes in as part of the cooking process rather than garnish. Might use fresh chilli next time.

Used boneless skinless chicken thighs which I browned for longer and used more garlic. It was very tasty and succulent. Went down well with my family.

Works better with the chilli flakes as suggested

Another tasty recipe!! I didn't have full amount of spinach so added in some chopped courgette to make up for it. This worked really well but obviously changed the nutrient values slightly. The dish was a big success though - never used nutritional yeast before either.

Very runny - I made the recipe for 4 and used parmesan as suggested. It was very tasty but more like a soup than a stew - I feel the amount of water is much too much.

Best one so far!

Really delicious recipe .... another variation I tried was to add a bag of frozen roasted veg (I did oven roast them first for extra flavour). Garnished with watercress!
