Cheese Rabokki
Posted by Kathryn on 1st June in Food and Drink
How to describe it? Cheesey. Noodley. Fishy. Chewy. Spicy. Yup. That pretty much sums it up. My version of this is a somewhat modified version of this recipe I found on the net. It’s a pretty easy dish to make. One pot and a plate to serve is all it takes. Start by gathering your [...]
