I love fast, simple and tastey and this was just perfect for me. I served this up with some salsa and recipe#277993 The only thing different that I did was add a bit more garlic and served over spanish rice. There was a party going on in my mouth that's for sure! Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm...this was simple and healthy. I was hoping for more flavor with this as we both thought it was rather bland. I doubled the garlic and used fresh rosemary, but it needed salt and other things, but not sure what. ??? Very colorful and quick! MERP'd for My 3 Chefs '08.
