What I love about this recipe is that it is quick, easy and tasty. I actually time it last week and from start to finish it took only 27 minutes and that included taking photos and having a baby on one hip for over half of it, so I am sure you could do it in 20 minutes with a little bit of pace. Although it cooks up quite a big dish, it is a light dish, so there is never very much left over from this meal for us any more.
