A true family favourite and as wholesome and fulfilling as the meat version. This is a dish that is not only tasty and simple to make, but packed with proteins, essential amino acids, iron and fiber. An all-rounder that can be served with spelt pasta, brown rice or cooked quinoa. I sometimes warm some up and have it on its own in a bowl, absolutely yummy.
