I met Margie through my husband Jarrod when we were in our early courting days. Margie lived in Stokes Valley, Wellington and we spent many a weekend at her place eating amazing food and trying to keep warm on those cold Stokes Valley winter days. We had some great times and many laughs. We both loved cooking, we both were primary school teachers, we both suffered with terrible morning sickness, we both ended up having a child with additional needs and we both ended up living in Melbourne. Margie was my bridesmaid when I married Jarrod in 1997 at Acacia Birch House in Palmerston North. This is Margie’ s
recipe and every time I make it I think of my friend Margie.
Great to serve as finger food or serve with salad and crusty bread for a main meal.
