I haven't made this specific recipe but it's very close to one I make from a recipe my subconscious keeps for me (in other words, it's something I never before read a recipe for but I make it anyway...does that make sense?) It's similar to the Adobo (sp?) recipe in Joan Nathan's JEWISH COOKING IN AMERICA and there is something kind of like this in CUCINA EBRAICA but this specific recipe is it's own critter and much more like what I "ad lib."
