Serving suggestions

If beef is not to your taste, simply replace it with another meat of your choice. Vegetarians can simply add more vegetables and a mixture of beans and legumes.


"To keep your salt intake at a healthy level, try reduced salt stock cubes; or why not make your own stock cubes by freezing homemade stock in an ice-cube tray?"
