A super easy and festive side dish that can be enjoyed all through the wintertime. It can dress up cold cuts and leftovers, as well as being enjoyed as a side dish on Christmas day.
I don't add sugar to my recipe, so it's quite tart, which suits me but, if your way of eating allows you could add a handful of raisins, a spoonful of sugar/ honey or maple syrup.
Double up this recipe to eat half tonight with your choice of protein and a side of greens - sprouts would be nice! Allow the other half to cool down so you can freeze it in preparation for Christmas or boxing day lunch.
