I loved this recipe as did my fussy kids. I did make a few changes, always trying to get veggies in for the kids. At stage two I added onion, diced carrot and corn kernals (all up around 1 1/2 cups) Also, a big handful of frozen peas just before it was ready. I also thought it needed more salt. Really yummy and simple though. Thanks - 20 Jan 2011

Great recipe and very easy even for absolute beginners like me. I had it with Brazilian Coconut Chicken (from this site) and everyone loved it. - 01 Dec 2012
