A fast recipe with only a few ingredients, you need not be afraid of trying this one. It makes a hearty and nutritious accompaniment, and it’s a doddle to make.
The salty bacon makes this dish you will want on your menu every week and the sweet cranberry sauce adds to the flavour with an edge of sweetness.
