Yum! These are quick and tasty. My grandson and I thought that adding some crushed red pepper to the sauce would be good too, so we'll try that next time. Thanks Syd for a nice treat. Made for 123 Tag.

Syd, we really enjoyed this take on a tender! I followed the recipe, as written, except, I'm a peanut lover, so I added a few more. We added a grilled potato and had a nice meal. Thanks so much for sharing!

Though I left out the salt, and the chopped peanuts for the garnish, this did make for a quick nice dinner. The sauce was very nice. Served this with one of my mashed potato recipes. Made for PRMR tag.
