Jon, this was cooked by my son-in-law at a recent visit. It was absolutely delightful!! He is a big fan of yours and now I will be too!! B.

Loved this dish!! I always struggle to find good tasting meals and fed up cooking the same thing. Jon’s recipes are very easy to follow and found that once you’ve got the spices you can do the dish again, along with others from this website.
All my family loved this recipe, I had to double everything up as we’re a big family, I’d definitely recommend this recipe!!
