"Awesome" was my husband's review. That always says volumes. This recipe certainly lends itself to different ingredient suggestions, such as I used a green pepper and chicken. They needed to be used up. The herbs I chose were, thyme, oregano, chives and basil, all from my garden. Made for The Circus Has Come Photo Tag game. :)
