Dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow – this lovely, one-tin recipe is the very definition of practical cooking. The flavour of the lightly spiced carrots against the toffeed dates, sharp feta and lemon works beautifully; I took it to a friend’s house for a pot-luck lunch and it went down very well. Use your choice of tinned butter beans, black beans, haricot, cannellini or indeed chickpeas – it’s a great dish to use up whatever you have around.
