I really love experimenting with a variety of unusual ingredient combinations! Sometimes my trials work out and sometimes they do not!

I created this dish based on items I needed to use up before they expired and the outcome was delightful!

This recipe makes enough to serve 8 people and goes great with a side salad.

ENJOY!
