Full of flavor, easy to make and a great meat alternative I love warming casseroles that can be batch cooked and frozen and this one is full of fibre and plant based protein.

It is absolutely full of flavor and definitely one I will be making again.

Serves 4

1 tin chopped tomatoes

300ml vegetable stock

1tsp each of smoky paprika and pimenton D’esplette (Sub pinch of chili flakes)

1tsp brown sugar

6oz yellow split peas

4oz frozen green peas

5 slices of crusty baguette made into breadcrumbs about 4oz

Method

Add tomates, stock. spices to a pot and bring to the boil,

Rinse the yellow split peas and add to the tomato mix, turn it down to a medium where it is still bubbling gently, stir, season, add the sugar and cook until they are cooked.

Add the frozen green peas to an oven proof casserole, pour over the tomato mix, and let it cool a littleOur over the cream and top with breadcrumbs. Season well, drizzle a little olive oil over it and bake for 30mins at 180C.

Absolutely delish! great meat free option and perfect to freeze for another day.
