I got this recipe from Rachelle, a girl I dental assist with. She made it for our bosses birthday party a couple of months ago and I've been dying to re-make it but have been slacking in the kitchen creativity department lately. (Sorry!!!) Anyway she got it from one of her good friends and before that the origin is unknown...lol.. It's a very good, different, dish. The spices do make it, so be extra careful you don't add more than what is recommended!
