(From original unknown poster) If you haven't made this yet you will absolutely LOVE it (at least we did). We found it to be so "meaty" tasting that we ate it as a main dish...just a green salad and maybe a glass of wine and you are all set. One other thing that I really like is that we both work and I am constantly searching for things that I can make on weekends and then just "nuke and eat" after work.
