Even the person in this house who does not eat vegetables ate them.
Tried it with what was in the cupboard on a Wednesday. Not authentic, but it did the job.
Prepared everything in the morning and finished it in twenty minutes while people were arriving. That is the whole reason I picked it. I have ruined enough evenings standing at a stove with my back to the room.
Salting them first and letting them drain is the step that stops the whole thing being watery. Do not skip it as I did the first time.
