We’ve been eating this during the week since I made it, and so far we’ve had it with brown rice, mashed potatoes and roast potatoes. All were amazing! I think a favourite so far is little potatoes cut into quarters and baked, very similarly to how they are prepared in this lightened up patatas bravas

Did you have a nice Easter break? I’m currently in a little hotel in Germany, enjoying a few days away. It’s the first proper little break we’ve had since Christmas, and even then we were busy building the new Lauren Caris Cooks site, so excuse me while I’m sleeping, watching movies and drinking Champagne! I’ve still got posts scheduled this week but I might be a little slow replying to comments. Things will be back to normal next week!

  1. I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious. The leftovers today were spot on as well. I prepared it exactly as the recipe states and served it with roasted potatoes and slices of avocado. The preparation was simple but you couldn’t tell that from the rich flavour of this dish. Thank you so much for this fantastic recipe! I look forward to trying out your other recipes.

    • Hi Vishwanath! I would defrost it first, then either reheat it in a microwave or in a saucepan. You may need to add a little more water to thin it out, but you can judge how it looks. Make sure it’s completely hot when you reheat it.

  2. This is a lovely recipe – we had it for dinner tonight and it was just what I needed – so quick and easy! I served it with couscous, and topped with avocado and coriander. First ever fully vegan recipe – and it was definitely a winner! Thank you!
