Awsome. Our guests requested a copy of the recipe. Stuck completely to the recipe except for adding a dash more bourbon.

This dish was sooo different, but amazing. My guests were blown away by the complex flavors. It is a very easy way to wow guests. (One vegetarian guest just ate the sauce plain!)
