What would you serve with this?

Or would you eat it as it is? I can't picture what it will look like but have all the veg to use up. So, would you serve rice/pasta or anything with it?

Cous-cous?

Sounds lovely. I'd have a bit of nice crusty bread with it.

I think couscous with some herbs in would be tasty.

Yep, spicy cous cous. My method is 4 espresso cups of cous cous covered with 7 espresso cups of boiling water with 1 tablespoon of curry paste (madras or rogan josh work best) put a saucer in top of the bowl or clingfilm and leave it to soak up for 30 mins. Then I mix in finely diced red onion and coriander and usually eat it cold

Cous cous and bread both sound great! Any suggestions for wheat free accompaniments?

Bread, cous cous, rice, barley, cornbread, dumplings, pasta, bulghar, soda bread.

Use as a filling for pancakes or make pasties with it.

I'd have it with rice or couscous, and I'd sticka can of chick peas in with it to up the protein content!

Great ideas, thank you - and thanks for the chick peas tip Rach, I don't have any tins but will soak some tonight and add to the leftovers tomorrow.
