It’s easy to make a large quantity and freeze some for later, the key is to have a very large saucepan for cooking. The vegetables are also cooked at the end of the dish, so they keep their colour and shape.

Hot Tips
Chopping garlic
Squash the unpeeled garlic using the flat side of a large knife to loosen the skin and help release the flavour and oils. Peel the garlic and then roughly chop. All of the pieces need to be about the same size to ensure consistency while cooking.
