Absolutely fab! Use about half of the water for the stock and it needs to simmer for at least 20 mins but other than that, perfect!

Agree that less water for stock is needed else it’s too sloppy. But absolutely delicious and fussy teenage children loved it. Great success in our house and no-one missed not having meat. Put the leftovers in the freezer so hoping that will be good reheated too.
