Last week I recounted how Lucy Tweed's super greens pie unleased the green-eating monster in my son. Well, it's fair to say that the sticky ribs monster never needs unleashing. Unless you're a staunch vego, sticky ribs are always a bloody good idea. Let me just say...
My daughter made the super greens pie from Lucy Tweed's fab new cookbook Every Night of the Week and I just knew I had to share the recipe with you all. My 17-year-old son ate the greens. He loved the greens. He DEVOURED the greens. I don't think he's eaten anything...
