Description
This recipe was taught to me years ago by a chef who prepared meals for my boss. There are no strict measurements for the ingredients, but the outcome is wonderful and addictive; especially, if you like a strong garlic flavor and taste. I always get rave reviews and when people ask for the recipe — they are very surprised that the recipe is so simple to make.
