"This is not for the diet conscious! This is a great side for chicken or shrimp, and served with steamed broccoli. Sub chicken broth for the wine and bouillon, if desired."

Very simple and pleasant, I liked this, you could have it alone or also make some simple additions of prawns, bacon, maybe light vegetables. I liked this, made for Susies World Tour

This is wonderful! It's simple to make and very flavorful. It has a bit of a bite that I loved. I served this as an entree with mini penne noodles. Thanks Mike for sharing. Made for Went to the Market tag.
