A colourful bowl of goodness!
I love the flavours in this dish. It's really colourful and punchy. Full of sweetness from the raisins and cinnamon with the savoury hit of the lemon and veggies.
This is a really easy dish to make and won't take long with little preparation.
A delicious one for mid-week!
