I was going to make a video of this recipe, but the time I got home from work it was late and the sun was setting. Without natural light in the kitchen, I had to turn on the fluorescent lights, which make the food look awful. So no video today.
This is a fun dish to make and to eat. Plus it’s super tasty. Sometimes, like tonight, I make it as a main meal. But it’s also great as an entree, tasty, pretty looking and you eat it with your hands. I have a few end of year get togethers planned and this is one of the dishes that I know I can pull together quickly and give myself more time with my guest and less in the kitchen.
