This recipe is adapted from La Bouche Creole by Leon E. Soniat, Jr. It is a tomatoey, creamy and saucey dish with fresh flavorings from green onions, parsley and dill. It is delicious and different and guests rave. Good if made ahead of time and reheated. —Lynn D.

I can't believe much I messed up my first submission! It's one cup buttermilk and one-half cup sour cream (which isn't even in the list of ingredients. And of course its dill weed not dill weel! Yes it is, good and easy and unusual. It seems almost more Hungarian than Creole.

The measurement for the buttermilk is missing. Please correct for it sounds good and easy! Thanks.
