Tips

Cut the cooking time down by using 125ml chopped spring onion instead of onion, cook for 1 minute and continue with the recipe as it is.



Perfect for meal prep for singles or couples – make the recipe up to grilling, leave to cool and divide into portion sized fridge safe bowls (that seal tightly). Defrost and reheat and serve with sour cream and salsa. If stored correctly it will last in the fridge for 3 days or freeze in portions. "
