Minced Meat & Vegetable Stew
In Uganda, we did not have minced meat. We ate real meat and that's what I knew how to cook. When I came to Uk, I lived my sisters-In-law. I watched how they cooked minced meat but to tell you the truth, I never used to enjoy eating minced meat at all! In fact, it made miss Uganda so much. Not because they didn't know how to cook it but I was just not used to eating it.Eventually, I started cooking it for the family and realised, the children absolutely enjoyed eating it. I tested out with different ingredient over time and really perfected it.Now we all enjoy minced meat so much especially with chapatis.
