this recipe was inspired by an appetizer that we ordered at a bar in Three Rivers, Michigan called Pub 21. I forget the name of it on the menu, but it was so good I had to try to come up with something similar to have at home all of the time. Here is what I came up with, it's not exactly the same but just as good.
