  • Hot, Hot, Hot!! We cook this in a casserole dish on our gas hob, but you could easily cook it in the oven if you prefer.

    • My Mum, who spent her childhood in Mexico, used to cook a pork based version. She used to add some (a couple of teaspoons) oregano to hers, and the aroma is magically enhanced.

      Mmmmmm...I'll have to cook up a batch tonight.....
