Today was one of the most hot days in summer so far and was really difficult for me, because I have to stay at home, I was sick and have to stay in bed..I wanted so bad a day out at the seaside! But ok, at least I could cook and eat! So I decided to make an extremely simple to make and also extremely delicious and exotic dish, inspired by Sheyhellois Creole cuisine (yes I wished to be there..)!
It's a savory summery dish, perfectly spiced, naturally sweet, super healthy and with a unique exotic aroma!Flavor explosion!❣️
A heavenly recipe that you can't miss..Trust me..
