I needed a very mild version of this so halved the spice quantities and doubled the paprika. I also used frozen sliced peppers instead of fresh and added a small tin of sweetcorn, was very tasty.

Response from Quorn

We agree! Great recipe to adapt to different taste and ingredients available. Winner for everyone.
