Just tried this and made a few changes to clean some leftovers out of the refrigerator. I used about 8 cloves of garlic, added white wine and used Better than Bullion Chicken flavor, a small amount of cooked pork and some leftover shredded chicken. I served it over mashed potatoes with a side of garden salad. Delicious and quick dinner!

This made such an easy and quick dinner, topped with a fried egg and toasted country loaf toast with olive oil. I added a squeeze of lemon at the end. So good!

This is a great recipe, very flavorful and super simple. I kicked up the garlic and the red pepper a notch and used vegan chicken broth. I served it with a little condiment made from chopped tomato, more garlic, sea salt, and good olive oil. Then I drizzled over Minimalist Bakers Liquid Gold Sauce. Delicious!

I thought this was really good but needed a hit of acidity, so I added a splash of sherry vinegar the first time I made it. I’ve also used red wine vinegar and lemon juice since then - all three work great. That small change turned this into a dish we have pretty regularly at our house.

I was looking for a recipe similar dish we had had at the cafeteria at Centerpoint Medical Center in Independence, MO. This one nailed it. The original dish we had didn't have the red pepper flakes, so I didn't add them. I certainly will next time. Thanks, Olive, for the wonderful contribution!
