This recipe came about after having a hankering for a chippy dinner one night. Sadly, a visit to the chippy and trying to lose weight don’t usually work well together, so we thought we’d make our own instead! We’ve crammed as much veg as we can into our version of this popular Aussie dish: even the sauce is made from fresh veggies, which means it’s a great way to make sure you’re getting your five-a-day and is ideal for picky eaters. Serve with rice, chips, or even both!
