This recipe is absolutely delicious. I made some modifications though - I used sweet potato instead of potato, and added 80grams of tinned lentils (to the serves 2 recipe). Before adding the sweet potato mash on top of the broccoli and squash mixture I went crazy on the black pepper and gave the salt a miss - yum, yum and more yum. Also, even though I followed the recipe for serves 2, it ended up being huge and dividing into 4 big enough pieces, just add a side salad. These modifications increased the protein and made the most of the calories. This is my favourite recipe.
