Notes

• No browning required! Just mix, marinate, and bake for an easy, flavourful meal.
• Great for meal prep! I usually make it in the morning and cook it in the afternoon, which is plenty of time for the flavours to develop. However, you can leave it for up to 2 days in the fridge if you want to make it ahead.
• Gluten-free friendly! Works just as well with gluten-free flour.
• The gravy is the star! If it thickens too much, add a splash of water before serving.
