This is an extremely easy to make dish that is fast to put together. Very convenient for a work night meal when you don't feel like spending a lot of time preparing dinner. I thought it had really nice flavor for the simple list of ingredients. Fresh mint and basil are a must. Thanks for posting.Reply
