This amazing recipe is as flexible as it is delicious!
Popping it on low in the slow cooker last thing before bed makes breakfast a breeze, it’s the perfect blend of sweet and savoury, with a yummy tang! You can substitute the cauliflower for white sweet potato if you want an even sweeter version, or add extra chunks of carrots and parsnips if you want lots of leftovers for lunches, or spare meals to freeze.
Want it faster, or for a different meal? Add quick to cook veg like chopped asparagus, mushrooms or zucchini, or replace the mince with small chucks of chicken breast. Instead of slow cooking overnight you can also oven bake at 180 degrees for up to 1.5hrs or slow bake up to 3 hours at 150 degrees.
These quantities are easy to double too, or prep in advance, leaving your dish ready to go in the fridge, to heat up another time when you’re under the pump.
Bon apatite!
