This recipe was personally prepared by Irit Birman for the September 2015 Curious Cuisiners meeting. This recipe was found in her Mother-in-law's Taste of Home magazine- a Hedlund Home Cooking recipe. Irit accidently used roasted red peppers in place of the sun-dried tomatoes and it still tasted great. She also left out the chopped walnuts.
