This Ochro Hash was totally unplanned. It was born out of a need to clear out the odds and ends in the crisper in the fridge.
I’m on a zero wastage campaign so nothing goes to waste. This recipe demonstrates how to take scraps and make full meals. So this recipe isn’t really about measurements and methodology but more about creative vibes. Using what we have at our disposal to make a delicious meal.
You can serve this with rice like I did here and have it for lunch or dinner or you can serve it with toast or sada roti for breakfast.
