Story behind the dish:

“My mom taught me this recipe while we were living in Johannesburg in our two- bedroom apartment – and with two dogs. Mom wanted me to perfect a simple recipe that yielded a healthy, substantial meal for more than one person. We would make this dish most days of the week, for guests, and on movie nights.” - Joshua James Fitzroy
