Made this pretty much as given (3 of us at the table) & portioned the servings accordingly! The only change I made was to cut the amount of salt back by half, & although I did put a salt shaker on the table, just in case, none of us touched it! Definitely a tasty & satisfying meal! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
