Nearly one in 10 adults in South Africa are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes – and many more are at risk. We asked dietitian Faaizah Asmal Laher to decode this disease. Faaizah is a wife, mother, spokesperson for ADSA (Association for Dietetics in South Africa) and dietitian working in Joburg. She loves cooking healthy, but yummy, meals.
Don’t be daunted by the title of this recipe. We can assure you it’s super easy to make with only 20 minutes of hands-on time required from you. And we just thought we’d mention that we absolutely love a leg of lamb with beautiful traditional homely flavours, such as rosemary and nuts.
