This recipe is one of my favourites by Anne Lindsay from her New Light Cooking book, 1998. A real hit with the entire family. Rich and full of flavour but good for you at the same time. I usually throw in a cup or so of frozen green peas for added benefit. If you can find it, serve with brown basmati rice.

This was soooo yummy. We didn't have rice with this, we had naan instead, and I added half a steamed butternut squash. This was simple, quick, tasty and just different enough. Thanks!
