Super comfort food! We tried this in our local turtle bay and couldn’t get enough! So I attempted to make it at home and it’s turned out really well! Nice and simple - because I’m not a chef ha! But super effective and yummy! I added extra veg into mine to make it a bit healthier, but you don’t have too! You can also swap the double cream for crème fraiche too if you’d like it healthier!
