Oops! posted before I had finished the recipe. Put lid on pan and cook on lowest heat and simmer for 10/12 mins. Let it stand for 5 minutes or so before serving. You can add minced beef or lamb (when cooking onions) if you wish. I do this when serving as a meal on its own and serve it with salad and a dollop of thick natural yogurt on the top!
