Chef Christopher, I can't thank you enough! For years I have not completely recalled a recipe for this special we once served. This one is IT!!! Nostalgia, and my tastebuds, have taken over with this excellent recipe! Thank you!

Thank you so much for posting this recipe! It is the one that comes the closest to the dish I remember eating a long time ago. The only difference is that there were tomatoes in it. So I added about 1 pint of grape tomatoes cut in half to the pan at the last min just to warm them up. Excellent! I will be making this often.
