We are so proud of this new dish! Filled to the brim with interesting veg, which is a super tasty way of meeting children’s 5-a-day while exposing them to exciting veg they may not have tasted before. This dish serves perfectly with a wholemeal loaf and unsalted butter.

What do we love about our farmer sue's chicken stew?

This new recipe contains a whole host of different veggies including kale, leek, carrot, celeriac, fennel, and swede. The use of pearl barley is a good source of fibre, important for healthy bowels and keeping our little ones full! We've also used marmite in this dish for an extra flavour boost, which is fortified with B vitamins to help release energy from food and make red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body.
