"This recipe was one of the first dishes that my mother in law made for me while visiting them in Minnesota. Delicious! It is now a winter time favorite. The herbs and spices can be adjusted for your tastes, and fresh herbs can be substituted depending on availability. Serve with sour cream and crusty Baguette."
