"I think this recipe would be a great addition to the KitchenStories cook book because not only is it a quick, easy weeknight dinner that will please the whole family - it’s packed with flavour, it’s healthy and so versatile! It can be served with a salad, rice, pasta, anything (and left overs are just as good cold for lunch the next day)!This dish is also great because its different to your typical weeknight go to’s. Every night of the week should involve interesting good food! I hope you enjoy!"
