This is the perfect recipe for entertaining, batch cooking or freezing ahead for Christmas. It’s best made a day or two before, or you can cook low and slow in the morning. This is lovely served with my giant cous cous and roast squash salad (see next page).
To serve: sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds, pomegranate seeds and scatter over the coriander leaves. You could perhaps drizzle over some yoghurt, too.
