Delicious, and much more simple than one might think. for those that don’t cook, this feels like one of those super fancy dishes, that seems like you were in the kitchen for hours preparing…
Michael, thanks for the kind words. We love this recipe too. It’s not too challenging but the result is awesome. Especially for us kidney patients wanting more variety. Thanks again. -Anthony
