This came from an old cooking magazine, no longer noted on my copy.It is easy and uncomplicated. I followed the recommendations to accompany with orzo and baby carrots (I used Zaar recipe #66540 - Balsamic Baby Carrots), and maybe prepared stuffed, grape leaves. It will prepare leftovers for another meal for 2.
