I'm having this for my tea tonight with a few new potatoes and some green veg

It's not a fast day but I've seen so many good recipes on here that I'm adapting them to suit feed/fast days. Its been great because I'm not eating any differently really just adding a small amount of carbs on one day and a pile of veg or salad on another

I adapted the recipe from an old ready, steady, cook programme. It's a standby for us. There's often a lot of sauce left, which can be used as the basis of a soup! Hope you like it!

It was fab! I left the lid off for a bit to reduce it down so it was a bit thicker and I used creme fraiche instead of cream because I never have cream in the house and had it with new spuds, purple sprouting broccoli and french beans.

Hubby really enjoyed it and said it would be good in a bowl with french bread to dunk or dolloped over creamy mash
