  1. Well, this made for a very tasty supper tonight. Easy too. The different flavouring ingredients in this dish came together very well, herby notes provided by the celery, the onion and garlic had melted down to sweet, sweet, sweet, and the olives punctuated everything saltily. The pan juices were excellent served over mashed potatoes.
