This dish came about completely out of necessity and I am so delighted with it, that I might actually plan to make it again and shop for the ingredients next time. As always you can swap and change the vegetable element to your heart’s content.
I put recipes on here in the hope that my daughter, who is at university, might be inspired and have a go. It has worked on occasion. This is a perfect one for you to try Ms Glade X.
It can be made in advance and popped into the oven whenever your ready!
