The reason why it’s taken this recipe so darn long to see the light of day is this: my husband does not like capsicum. And therefore, it just never ended up on our meal rotation, like, ever. So whilst this recipe has been in the works for six years, I probably only cooked it six times during that time. I finally gave it a hand whilst I was staying at my Mother’s house a while back and I have officially cracked the code and got something I am finally happy sharing with you all....
