A hearty and warming one-pot stew that can feed a crowd but quantities can easily be halved.

Smoked paprika adds just the right amount of spice.

Enjoy on its own or with some wholegrain rice, couscous, quinoa, barley etc….

      Lynn – I have not tried freezing it but I cannot see why you could not. The recipe can also be easily halved. Annabelle
