I’m making a conscious effort to eat more fruit and vegetables at my meals, while some comfort foods are great sometimes I forget the nutrition side of things and wanted to as they say ‘east the rainbow’. I took inspiration from BBC good food for this recipe.
I LOVE the flavour combination of orange and cumin seeds with the carrots its a game changer! I served mine with a green leaf and tomato salad
