"This recipe has been in my family for quite a while, my grandma in Spain was a gourmet cook and she has passed it on to my Dad and he passed it on to me... My family loves when I make it and I would like to share it with all of you as it is very healthy."

This recipe is fantastically delicious, yet incredibly simple to make. Not quite a traditional Mediterranean meal, nor quite Spanish nouvelle cuisine, alas somewhere in the between does the majestic mix of intense flavors of this dish lay. I prepared it for a dinner party (doubling the amounts, naturally), and the response from all my guests was unanimous; simply wonderful.
