I don't have a big freezer either and end up giving some to friends. This is the kind of recipe where you can use the ingredients but quantities don't matter so much. It'a tgrow it in kind of recipe. Taste as you go and add a little stock at a time until you see how much in needs. Leftover lentils would be good in A salad or in a cheesey wrap. The bag od soya mince can get a clip on it and bunged back in the freezer.Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-80685621234053383262017-09-19T12:29:21.302+01:002017-09-19T12:29:21.302+01:00Sounds like a tasty recipe but like most of posted...Sounds like a tasty recipe but like most of posted recipes its for a lot of people, in this case 8.

Also I use a baking tbsp measure as I find an actual cutlery tbsp can give wildly differing results. I do like the flavour there, but it shouldn't overpower as it's such a big potful. I would use less next time.Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-64187890159800824232015-03-01T15:29:16.682+00:002015-03-01T15:29:16.682+00:00Lovely recipe, but there does seem to be a lot of ...Lovely recipe, but there does seem to be a lot of mustard - 4 tbs was a whole (smallish) jar and it's very "mustardy".MimiJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03428638381577984852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-63005375210633222822014-01-19T23:25:45.016+00:002014-01-19T23:25:45.016+00:00Whoops, sorry about that and you are quite right, ...Whoops, sorry about that and you are quite right, they only need seconds to thaw.

Thanks so much for putting it on your web site. Have been doing 5:2 for the past 6 weeks and have lost 6 kilos! Will keep going until I feel that I have reached my goal. Another 6 kilos maybe enough. Love your web site and keep looking at it for new food ideas as I am vegetarian.
