I made this recipe as a quick and easy lunch for me at home with young children and something filling for my boyfriend at work. We were both getting sick of sandwiches every day. Lovely easy and very tasty recipe, it is now a firm favourite in our house - 09 Jul 2009

Easy, substantial meal, even nicer the following day warmed through. Next time I might try smoked bacon for a change. - 26 Sep 2014
