Swaps and tips
Freezes brilliantly — make a double batch. A square of 85% dark chocolate stirred in at the end adds depth without sugar, and a chopped fresh chilli lifts the heat.
Add carbs for the family (optional)
For the family, serve over brown or basmati rice, or with a baked potato. The beans add some carbs already, so keep the on-plan portion over cauliflower rice.
