and 1 tbsp grind seasoning (optional).

beautiful crunch to your burger and is
extremely tasty and filled with protein.)

have just gotten tender (approximately
35 minutes). Add the pasta sauce,
brown sugar and half the chadon beni
and reduce heat to a simmer, cook for
approximately one hour. Season to
taste and add remaining chadon beni
at the end.
2.Serve with dinner rolls, rice, pasta or
our favourite, corn bread or chips! This
is a very filling and delicious meal to
make on a budget. Hope you enjoy!

are bay leaf, chilli powder and Cajun
seasoning. You can also use chicken,
veggie or beef stock instead of water
for added flavour.
