This dish is fabulous served with a yellow saffron rice. If you want a little more spicy heat just add a touch more jalapeño pepper. My husband doesn't like green olives so I chop them real fine and he doesn't know they are there. It's very easy to adjust this recipe to your own liking. Once in a while I throw in some fresh cut corn.
