This turned out to be a delicious and forgiving recipe. I'm ashamed to admit this but it's true, I got out all of the ingredients and had them waiting on the counter. All went well and smoothly, the dish came together looking very tempting and sumptuous over the rice when plated. It was yummy and I made a mental to say a special thank you to it's creator. When taking the empty dishes to the sink I then saw an open can of tomatoes and some olives sitting there waiting for me. Oh the embarrassment, lol, I can only say that it was delicious even with two missing ingredients. As I said, a marvelous and forgiving recipe that I highly recommend.

Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
