I have no clue where I got this recipe and the last time I made it was last fall. It has a magnificent taste and it could be either an appetizer or the main event. The flavors are wonderful. If you are a vegetarian you can always leave out the pepperoni's and make it a side dish. The flavors go very well together and it is very savory dish Enjoy!
