Absolutely love this recipe!!
I’ve made it at least 5 times and never get sick of it! Super easy and tasty and I love that I have leftovers for lunch!
This recipe is amazing so easy yet doesn’t taste plain at all I cooked with water instead of wine and it was lovely
Just made this and it was delicious! The only extra thing I added was a piece of cinnamon stick. This is going to be a definite favourite!
Has anyone doubled the recipe? Any suggestions when doing so?
Fantastic recipe , made it a few times now. Always so tasty!
Delicious ! Complimented it with Turkish bread
This is a must try! It’s such a great recipe, so simple and so very tasty! I’ve got it on the go again low! Can even be chilled and reheated in the microwave next day for lunch!
One of the easiest and tastiest dishes ever. Add half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or one stick whilst cooking for the authentic flavour!
Thanks so much for your fab 5-star review!
