  Used large onion, large carrot, tinned puy lentils otherwise followed the recipe, lovely change from potatoes, pasta or rice, served with gammon cooked in ginger beer with a tangerine glaze. Absolutely superb made the December 2010 edition magaxine worth every penny.

  My friend made this over the weekend from the easy food for a crowd spead page 102 December 2010 she said that all the recipes went together fantastically and would be great for an easy boxing day buffet which is healthy and mainly prepared ahead.

  This recipe did not need anything changed it was DELICIOUS!!! Also loved the gammon cooked in ginger beer. Loved the fact I could prepare it a day or two in advance so I had time to spend with my guests.

  As with the gammon, my fruit was Clementines but I don't really know what the difference is and we were all very happy with the result. Left out the creme fraiche as I'm dairy free but didn't feel it lacked anything. Yummy.
