Another great recipe! Fairly easy to make and absolutely delicious. This was actually something a little different for us to try considering it was a main course meal on its own - with no side-dish. Typically my spouse likes to have side-dishes (such as potatoes or rice or... something else) - however we decided to try this out as is and... it was great! And filling too!
