Delicious! Added mashed pumpkin and mashed kumera with mashed potato to add extra veges and flavour. A whole meal in one.
Kia Ora Koutou. Easy peasey lemon squeezy! Love this recipe. Great, wholesome, yummy kai. Mauriora ki a koutou.
Nice quick & easy meal. Served with broccolli & pumpkin. Very tasty. Didn't have tomato paste so used half a can Watties Tomato Puree and a can of Watties Tomatoes in juice with a Tasty Cheese instead of the Edam. Have made it a few times since.
