My mother made this dish when I was a child. Sometimes things were tight, but she always had something tasty to put on the table for me and my Dad.
I make this dish in remembrance of my mother and her dedication to her family, and because she created something that tastes good. My mother had a talent for making something special, from practically nothing at all. She was an amazing woman who taught me the meaning of “family”.
