The Recipe

So here comes the recipe. It has blanks, though, as the exercise we did in class! =)

There are plenty of variations, as all recipes do. I remember adding some pieces of bacon last year. The tomato chutney, suggested here, looks a bit redundant, doesn't it? Tomato sauce with... tomatoes!

Anyway, it's great! Perhaps not as delicious as french fries, but more like, as said in class, eggplants... An acquired tast, for the few....
