After quite an eventful week, I was trying to come up with a great recipe using what I knew I had back home. Unexpectedly, saw a post on Facebook about  cater willing to give away some samples of his own doing. I decided to give it a go, try it and basically guess what was in it. The result was simply outstanding so I created a new recipe using his spices mix as a basis. Even if you do not have all the spices, I can be sure you will be happy with the result.
