This meal is a perfect mid-week solution for busy families.

It’s fast, yummy, and can be made with any vegetables you have on hand. We love the sweet flavour of the yellow capsicum and it was what we had available at the time. I’d love to try this with green beans, or maybe even peas, just add them before you pressure cook.

We added the capsicum at the end only because I prefer crunchy capsicum, and our kids haven’t learnt to love it yet.
