Simple spices and chilli give warmth on a much needed winter’s day. Simple to make, even simpler if you use packaged stock for a convenient dinner you prepare and set to cook. You can plan ahead with your home-made stock, cook on a different day and freeze. If you plan to use homemade stock where you cook on the same day add an extra 70 minutes to the preparation time, most of which is set and forget till the timer goes off!
