This is a great inexpensive recipe that has outstanding flavor. I was looking forward to left overs the next day considering there are only 2 of us...That did not happen. Hubby ate it all:( I adapted it from a recipe by Jeff Smith. We served it with "To Die for Garlic bread by Rox" from this site, and a nice green salad. Hope you enjoy
