| NOTES ON PREP |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When working the recipe up for 15, 500g of any of the veg was approximately equal to a pint glass full. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One serving was approx 3 ladels full, it is quite filling so maybe 2 ladels with a side dish |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Pumpkin or squash is also good as a chunky veg in there |
|
