This dish is so easy that it can be made for a weeknight dinner but so good that it can be made for a festive occasion! We made this for my brother's engagement dinner - and everybody was asking for the recipe!
I got this recipe from my aunt, and growing up I always thought anything she cooked must have taken all day because it tasted so good. But now that I have started cooking with her, I realized that she had us all fooled.- she has the most amazing recipes that are easy to clean up and easy to make. And now I get to share this wisdom with you!
