I created this recipe while my husband, Victor and I were living in California. It was a favorite of his until his death on February 19, 2018. I still make this dish as it is still a favorite of mine and a nice memory of us cooking together all those times. No matter what dishes we made. Our timing was perfect and everything came together at the same time. I hope you love it as much as we did.
