Reviewer: Vicky from Canada
I served this dish at a special dinner and I can\'t tell you how many people asked for the recipe. So I gave them the web site. I had added cubed potatoes(3) and cubed tomatoes (3) in the mixture. Served in a chafing dish along with other dilectable treats, it was lovely.
