It is so simple to make and extremely inexpensive, costing around £4-£5 for the whole dish. That is roughly £1 a portion!!!
It’s gluten free, vegan and is absolutely packed full of colour, flavour and goodness.
You can always adapt this recipe to use what you have, for example swap the sweet potatoes for butternut squash and the black beans for lentils.
One of the best parts about this recipe is there is minimal prep and you simply chuck all the ingredients into one-pot to cook down.
