  1. This was really good. I left out the olives and capers, but otherwise followed instructions. It made the whole house smell wonderful. I think next time I'll use regular salt instead of seasoning salt, and leave the potatoes out altogether. Thanks for the posting, Kitten!
     
  2. This was a really great dish with delicious flavors. How silly I couldn't find whole legs so I had to use drumsticks instead but it worked out well. I used 4 red potatoes cut in 4 and a lot more than 1 Tbsp of garlic. I love garlic too...best thing going. I didn't quite put in 1 cup of olives but maybe 1/2 cup only cause DD doesn't care for them. I definitely put in the capers , I love them and DD doesn't mind them. I also added with the canned tomatoes some fresh chopped Campari tomatoes just for some fresh tomato taste. I did find I needed to thicken the sauce with the cornstarch. I cooked it all for about 45 minutes and served over a bed of buttered noodles. Kitchen was smelling so good while simmering with this delicious recipe. Made for Comfort Cafe '09. Thanks once again Kittencal for a dish we all loved.
     
  3. We did not like this and will not make it again......after all that work.
     
  4. Excellent dish. We whizzed up the sauce and mashed the spuds for the kids and they loved it. We added some chillies to ours and we loved it. Great :-)
     
  5. Really thought this was a great recipe and not difficult or time consuming. I would add a little more cayenne or perhaps some red pepper flakes as we like it a little spicier.
