I recently entered my first recipe contest. The only requirement for the recipe was GARLIC at least 6 gloves. I immediately knew what I wanted to enter.
My daughters all time FAVORITE meal.
I have to say it is also one of my favorites. So flavorful and filling.
Plus it re-heats well. I love that in a recipe.
