Makes leftovers
As my greens I added cabbage, as that's all I had in.
I added tomato puree, and a tablespoon of Old Bay lemon and herb seasoning, and half of a lemon instead of a full lemon.
Beans - borlotti and baked beans.
And an extra tablespoon of curry powder.
This could be switched up by changing the beans and the greens. Very adaptable !
Served with basmati rice, naan and some mango chutney.
