My mother is law is turning 70 this month, so in honour of her, I am posting one of my favourite dishes from her kitchen. It took me a while to get it from her, but I think it was worth the wait. I love these as an alternative to the Italian or Swedish ones as they are crammed full of veg, herbs and spices. They might seem like a little bit of effort but it so worth it. You might as well make a big batch so you have lots of leftovers. The carrot in there keeps it nice and moist, even cold in a picnic basket.
