Notes

• The beauty of this dish is that we can really use whatever vegetables we have available.  I’ve made it using only pumpkin or only sweet potato i.e. just the one starchy vegetable.  Use whatever is available to you and you know your family will enjoy.
• Runner beans would also add a great snap to this dish, just add them in toward the end.
