This is a delicious, healthy and easy vegetarian recipe that my mother-in-law passed down to me. She initially gave it to me to bake as my contribution to the family Christmas dinner as I wouldn’t be eating the meat, I loved the dish so much and the plum sauce really made it feel christmassy! Hence, I only make this recipe once or twice throughout the year to keep it as my special dish for Christmas. But there is no reason for you not to make it as many.
Did you know that cashews are a good source of protein, fibre and good fats. They can also help to control blood sugar levels – I often have a small handful of cashews for morning tea to get me through to lunch and ward of the late morning shakiness and poor concentration.
