This French-inspired one-pot wonder makes for a hearty winter supper.
“One of my favourite complete meals in a pot has to be cassoulet,” says Miguel Barclay, author of the One Pound Meals cookbook series.
“You get the carb element from the beans, a lovely rich sauce and whatever you choose as the hero ingredient.
“Here I have gone for chicken drumsticks, which are affordable and delicious.”
With minimal effort required and a handful of ingredients that you will more than likely be able to find in our cupboards at home, this recipe is even more appealing.
If you are looking for something for dinner that you can turn around in a flash, then this is a recipe you will not only thoroughly enjoy making, but will most certainly reap the rewards of, too.
