This is a fabulous recipe on so many levels!!! I hadnt even realised until I started that it was one-dish, things just got better and better!!! Made exactly as directed, trust me, nothing could improve this recipe! If I had a Best Of cookbook, this would be in it, maybe I must do that. Excellent recipe, somehow, I just ... LOVED it!!! LOL!
