Here’s another recipe from Ixta Belfrage’s ” Mezcla”. You can serve it as the main event, or it goes very well with her Roast Chicken Curry or Mole Short Ribs. You can use less of the chilli or just use a pinch of chilli flakes if you want a milder heat.Left overs can be reheated the next day- either pan fry or put in a 170 C Oven, 150 Fan and warm for about 10 minutes. Serve with plenty of butter on the side.
