"It is a very tasty and healthy dish when we want to use up those tomatoes, cucumber, onions and garlic being grown in our garden. Besides, although most other pork dishes need long and slow cooking, this one is a quick and easy one. (Time not includs marinating.)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After getting married, I immigrated to the UK to live with my husband. Since then, my life had completely changed. Instead of a school-librarian, I couldn't get a similar professional job as I can't speak Welsh and is a bit too old to learn a new language. I am a freelance IT demonstrator and essay marker at the moment.
Before I got married, since I needed to work over 60 hours per week, my mother, who enjoys cooking didn't let me bother my meals at home. As a housewife now, I learnt to cook. I studied recipes from books, magazines and of course the Internet. As experience grows, I often adjust recipes to suit my husband and my taste.
