Another such recipe required.

It was Ethandron who recommended the following:-

It is one which we have served, successfully, on numerous occasions, but would wish to have similar recipes which, once prepared and cooked in a single pot, leave the kitchen with little to tidy-up afterwards.

Incidentally, we have a few casserole pots; including a large 'Le Creuset' which is 29cms dia. and approx. 14cms deep. So we are able to adjust quantities to cope with the number of guests involved. ( Say up to six, which then means eight people around the table.

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
