  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 or 3 courgettes, diced
  • 2 or 3 carrots, diced
  • 8 oz/225 g pumpkin flesh, chopped

  • 0.5 chicken stock cube
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 or 3 tsp rolled oats
  • 1 large turkey wing or 2 chicken wings

METHOD

Fry the onions in the oil until light golden brown, then add all the other vegetables and cook gently for a couple of minutes. Cover the vegetables with water. Add the herbs, chicken stock cube and seasoning and bring to the boil, then add the oats and turkey or chicken wings. Cook for about 30 minutes (or for 15 minutes in a pressure cooker).
