It looked really interesting and I was intrigued, of course trying to locate the recipe was another thing all together. I kept searching for a … Continue reading Hominy casserole

I can remember where I got this recipe from exactly, but paging through my recipe book looking for something to make for Friday’s fasting lunch I stumbled upon this beauty.

This was one of those dishes that confused my parents. It looked like a badjie pie, it smelt like a badjie pie but it was not a badjie pie at all.

Thanks to the short days due to 10 days of temple, there is just not enough time in the day to cook every day.
