Recipe tips
  • If you have any left over, blend with some vegetable or chicken stock for a great soup.
  • This dish is delicious with 1 tsp curry paste added to the sauce with the mustard in step 2.
  • You can assemble this in advance and leave it in the fridge then just pop it in the oven when needed. If baking straight from the fridge, add an extra 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Freezing instructions: Suitable for freezing once cooked. Defrost in the fridge or microwave and reheat until piping hot throughout.
