If you’re like me and have tummies and a fridge that need constant replenishing this is a winner. It’s easy, healthy, adaptable to any leftovers and means you can use up all the odds and ends in your vegetable compartment (yes its all about #lovefoodhatewaste)⠀
⠀
It’s a forgiving recipe so you can substitute pretty much anything and fresh or dried herbs and spices will add a bit of zing to this. I used “piment d’espelette” (a paprika from SW France) but you could use any of your favourite spices like basil, tarragon, oregano, cumin.⠀
