What a wonderful recipe! So simple and quick, yet so full of flavour. I pretty much left the recipe as is, but I was all out of brown sugar, so I replaced it with 1/4 cup (packed) Splenda Brown Sugar Substitute. I also cooked it on the stove top, in my Dutch Oven. Thanks Dilo :) My only suggestion would be to specify in the directions how to determine if it is done...
