SO HOW'D IT GO?
I thought that this was a great recipe base.
I added chopped onion, mushrooms, a can of sweetcorn, spinach, cumin and a dash of lemon juice.
It was quite tasty & I'll definately use this again if I'm in a rush - it took 20mins from start to serving, brilliant!! I would definitely recommend for a tasty, quick dinner.
Oh and mine made about 4 servings, not 2 like the OP stated.
I wish I had a pic of this! It's so cute just sittin in it's pot on my bedside table on top of notes and books.
I added some corn and skimped on seasonings because I didn't have any, and substituted vegetable broth for water. Maybe everyone else needs something more filling, but this is perfect for me. I'll probably add something green next time, but I'll definitely be making this a lot (so inexpensive and quick)
