Hello Jas how are you son.
If you want to add a taste that will tease your little bud’s replace the diced capsicum with oven roasted capsicums. You can get them from woolies. I think one would be enough but you can add more.
Of course! I remember you used them the day you taught me that recipe. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Just brilliant. Well done.
Thank Nora. I’m glad you like it.
