This recipe came to me when I was living in Spain with my two daughters and my then-husband. Our officers' wives' club put together a cookbook, and this particular recipe was one of my family's favorites. Jean Petersen, who is now deceased, is the wonderful lady who submitted this recipe for the cookbook, and I now pass it along to you.
