Really enjoyed the combo of stuffed olives & garlic in this dish, & I was also generous with the peas & carrots! Used lemon pepper instead of the S&P ~ just a personal preference of mine when garlic is included! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Made & reviewed while touring South & Central America on the Zaar World Tour 4]
