I made this along side a beef tenderloin au poivre, celery root mashed potatoes, haricot vert with shallots and red wine vinegar. My MIL and SIL could not stop raving about this, it stole the show!! I too liked it that it could be made ahead and it is different than the usual sides. My MIL says she will make it for next Thanksgiving and probably sooner.
