Kormak is very wholesome, very simple to make, very delicious & very mild on the spices that it goes down very well with the children. I love my food to look & taste home-made.....So, of course my style of Kormak would be cooked with whole boiled eggs, large chunks of onions & potatoes, tomato wedges & garnished with green peppercorn, plucked right from my garden.....Ahhhhh soooo satisfying!!!
