Optional Serving Idea

We like to serve this with spicy rice and homemade tortilla triangles. The triangles are super easy, sprinkle some olive oil, paprika, salt & pepper over some plain tortillas and cut these into triangles. Put them on a baking tray and pop in the oven with the main dish, the triangles take only a few minutes.

Swap out Options

Lots of these ingredients can be swapped or altered to use up whatever is in your fridge. We've added mushrooms and sweetcorn instead of peppers. Chicken or sausage instead or chorizo. The butter beans can we swapped for any beans such as cannellini or kidney beans.
