If you’re a strict vegetarian or aiming to “go veggie”, then you may like to know that, in all likelihood, you’re 32% less likely to suffer or die from heart disease. A recent study has proven this to be the case

During winter months I love nothing more than a casserole or stew but, not being much of a red meat eater, I tend to end up with free range chicken or just vegetables, so I was thrilled when I found this recipe which has a Mediterranean twist

This casserole is quick and easy to prepare and, unlike most casseroles, it's cooked in a jiffy.

The recipe serves 6 people and is great for a hearty supper with friends when served with a lovely crusty, rustic bread. However, if you can't afford the pancetta then you can always substitute it for streaky bacon and, for vegetarians, you'll know that there are various tofu/quorn type substitutes for the sausage and pancetta/bacon.
