This recipe initialy came from my Ukranian Father in Law taught to him as a child. He called it “Parahai” and I have no idea how to spell it – forgive me if it’s wrong, but the recipe has been enjoyed by my family and my grandkids as a favourite. Time consuming to make but well worth the delight in eating. Leftovers are panfried the next day – if there is any leftover! Serve hot with a little butter. Garnish with a little reserved bacon and onion if you wish.
