Notes

Notes:
  • Great to serve with a side of greens or add spinach leaves in final 5 minutes of cooking time.
  • Adjust spice to liking by adding more or less chilli (can also use fresh chilli).
  • If you are sensitive to onion and garlic, omit onion and swap garlic for 2-3 tbsp garlic infused olive oil.
  • You can also use lamb or chicken to make this recipe.
  • If using chicken, the cooking time will reduce.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice, brown rice or quinoa.
