I discovered this dish earlier this year at Los Angeles restaurant, Nick & Stef's. Everyone at our dinner party loved this recipe! I so much so that I called the restaurant the next day to ask the chef if he'd share his recipe with me... lo and behold... he was kind and gracious enough to do so. Feel free to play with different seasonings that you really enjoy. Can even combine with rice or pasta. However, admittedly, I love it just the way it's described below... Bon Appétit!
