“My husband and I prepared this dish last night and loved the recipe. We put it on our outdoor grill and it turned out well. We would use the recipe to entertain since it presents very well with the spinach and tomato salad, but will also prepare it again for the two of us. It is easy and filling without being too heavy.” -Anna
