"This is a recipe from Danny Boone but i've tweeked it just a bit. Its very easy to make, but very time consuming. The dish is VERY filling so do not be discouraged by the portions, its extremy filling. I made it once for my mom on mother's day and a week later for my brother one what is now known as 'brother's day'... hope you enjoy it!"
