AND NOW FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT!!
Unlike many other parts of the world, the holiday season in South Africa, conjures up sunny skies, hot temperatures and lazy days beside swimming pools or at the beach. While those up north get out their winter woolies, stoke up the fires and plan their hearty, heavy meals…. we look forward to our seasonal produce and lighter meals.
With this in mind here isa a very simple, tasty recipe, ideal for this time of the year…
