A little more about this recipe...
This recipe started as something my partner and I randomly tried years ago and have gradually made our own. Over time, we’ve tweaked the spices and method until it settled into this version. It doesn’t have a deeper significance, it’s just a dish we really love and make often, especially when we want something cozy and satisfying.
