This is a recipe that we brought back from South Africa. Our friend Maggie made it for us and we have made it a few times since our return. These quantities serve eight. The meat mixture can be frozen at the end of step 3.
Maggie served it with rice and vegetables. We served it with rice, chutney, bananas, tomatoes, cucumber, coconut and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
