It’s all about comfort food and this recipe the Klutz in the Kitchen has found is just that. The weather in Cape Town has turned into winter again after a number of gorgeous days, so this is a real goodie for enjoying on days such as these. Quick, easy, tasty, enjoyable, a real comfort when served with freshly mashed potatoes. One can also serve with rice or pasta as an alternative to the mash. I like to have some mushy garlic peas served on the side add some fresh crunchy bread rolls with it and one will be totally satisfied with this mouth-watering meal. Ready to cook? Go for it today, get the ingredients needed on the way home. Bon Appetito!
