Hubby handed me a recipe the other day and asked me to make it. At first, I put him off because I did not think we had the ingredients. We actually DID have everything on-hand, the only problem was hubby had put the spices away last so could not find half of the items needed. *sigh*
So, the next day I tried again only to discover he had lost page two with the cooking directions. My attempts to find the original recipe online failed.
At that point I decided to start substituting things, and came up with the concoction below which is based on the recipe he found at food.com that I was unable to locate. I found other recipes with the same name, but not the same recipe below.
