  Apples worked nicely in this, i added a few sultanas towards the end aswell, dont know why though. Worked out really well and will be making again especially as it counts a 2 towards your 5 a day.

  I included a pack of Asda's Pork & Chorizo sausages to "meatify" it up a bit - and although it was somewhat overpoweringly tomatoey, it was given a thumbs up and decreed to be a "do again" job. We ate it with crusty bread rolls. I think next time, I would try to counterbalance the acidity of the tomatoes rather more. Perhaps not using that particular brand of sausage would help!

  I love this recipe and make it whenever I have a less than fresh granny smith lurking at the bottom of the salad drawer...I was suprised that apple worked so well in this recipe, I somethimes add sage ini stead of the mixed herbs and it worked really well

  Easy, filling and delicious! I added sausages (cooked separately) to my partners to make it a bit more meaty and veggie sausages to mine. Really cheap and healthy meal. Great for when you want something quick when you've just come home from work or even for all the family.
