As I’m enjoying myself in Europe, I thought I’d share this recipe with you. I’ve been making this regularly since 1992 when I first discovered it. It’s quick, tasty and straightforward to cook. It doesn’t have any vegetable content, so serve with a salad or some sautéed vegetables.
I regularly put in more than ½ a teaspoon of mixed spice and cinnamon. If you put a bit more in, the dish doesn’t suffer.
