South African Bobotie
"This is a delicious, wholesome favorite from my home country, South Africa. You can find a lot of different variations, but this is the one I like the most! I got a similar recipe from a nutritionist I saw who recommended I eat lower GI meals. This is slightly tweaked, but still healthy and with a low GI."

I love to cook but only realized this a few months ago! I just recently immigrated to the US, so it is quite exciting trying all the new dishes and different types of food!
