This is from All Recipes By: Chef John, with this comment: "This is an answer to all the people who claim not having enough time to cook after a long day at work. This entire recipe, start to finish, takes about 30 minutes. It is the kind of dish you really want to savor on a chilly winter day." Sounded wonderful, and very easy.
