  1. I made this recipe during ZWT3 & it was wonderful. Quick Sunday night dinner with lovely flavours. It was easy to put together & everything just worked well. Next time I will add a little more of the spices to our taste. We had a green salad with ranch dressing with this, which was a perfect mix of tastes. Thanks acerast for sharing this recipe.
