User Reviews:

From the moment I mixed it I knew it was going to be excellent! The aroma alone was mouth watering and it tasted as good as it smelled.

I also tried adding chick peas and it was pretty good!

Very easy to put together, and moreish when completed.
I was a bit short of asparagus, so I supplemented with broccoli florets and mixed the two together. Worked well.
