"This recipe comes from Helena's European Delights restaurant in Old Sacramento, California. It was printed in the R.S.V.P. section of a May 1982 issue of Bon Appetit. You may add some chopped red bell pepper to this also. Start this the day before you plan to serve it, as it marinates for 24 hours."
