Recipe tips

For a diary-free version, use rapeseed oil rather than spread and soya in place of milk.
Brussels sprouts are great instead of cabbage.
Freezing instructions:Defrost in the fridge or in the microwave then reheat until piping hot throughout.
'At risk' groups such as infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who are unwell should avoid soft/lightly cooked and raw eggs, unless they can guarantee that they are produced under the Lion code quality assurance scheme.
