This is really tasty and easy to make. The whole family loved it, although I didnt give the kids many onions as they are not big fans. A perfect dish for an autumnal day. Plus if you’re looking for a new cook book I can highly recommend Mary Berry, Cook Now, Eat Later. I think I got it half price in WHSmith and it has loads of great, get ahead recipes.
