Author Notes
I found this recipe many years ago in Gourmet magazine. Since then, I have changed some things and made it my own. It is unbelievably simple and people ask for it again and again, so it shows up at our holiday table as well as weeknight dinner. My kids will even eat it sometimes :) —SaucyRedhead
