This was a really good recipe. I pretty much made it according to directions, except I used left over pork, so I had to do a little adjusting on the cooking end. I sauted the onion, garlic, and capsicum in olive oil, then pretty much followed the directions for the rest, adding the chopped left over pork and apple and letting it heat through good. I then added the cornflour and water mixture to thicken. Great change for that left over meat.

Very nice casserole! I used chicken broth instead of the bullion cube and extra broth instead of the sherry. I also left out the capsicum (personal preference). This was very tasty and I would definitely make it again!!! Thanks!!
