This was so good. I was afraid the sauce might be overwhelming but it wasn't at all. I think next time I will double the sauce ingredients only because we like a lot of sauce. -
Really good! We didn't serve it over rice though, just ate it right from the pan, with the yummy blue cheese sauce spooned on top! Thanks! Made for ZWT3. -
This is definitely a keeper! The only thing I did differently was to deglaze the pan with a little white wine after sauteing the garlic. I served with rice and asparagus and it was great, though my DH would like it with pasta next time :-) and double sauce! Thanks!!! Update: We had the leftovers with pasta and the sauce had a great macaroni and blue cheese effect! -
Wonderful and simple to prepare. Did not have Greek yogurt, so use sour cream in its place and it was delicious! -
Yummy!! What a wonderful dish. The sauce was excellent. Thanks!!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
