- 60 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is a deconstructed version of the original which has more than 20 ingredients. My mum goes the whole hog, and then some. I make it like this. Still good but you're in and out of the kitchen in half the time. Read more Most of the work is done by the stove, not you ; ) This is supreme comfort food but also makes a soup course with a touch of the exotic East. One of the nicest things you can do with 6 ingredients. Recipe : mine, pic from Wikipedia. See less
