This is one of the healthy dishes that was served recently at my daughter’s healthy Missy-Chef party.

This one meal my children and their friends keep coming back to as it is surprisingly delicious and they love to help prepare and cook it.

Hearty, warming and packed full of fibre, protein and array of nutrients, give it a try yourself!
