Very tasty dish! To bring the recipe to the next level I used whole wheat sourdough in place of white bread. Love the combination of flavors. Didn't know when to add the red wine vinegar so I added it with the bread when I processed it. I did have to add about 1 tablespoon of water to make the garlic mixture more sauce consistency. Served with Recipe #175122. Thank you for posting this easy and delicious recipe. I will be making this again very soon! cg ;)
