This is an adapted recipe which originally appeared in Sunset Magazine which was changed for my family's tastes. It is so good! It has been a long time since this has been prepared and when made was served with freshly baked muffins or some sort of homemade bread made in the bread machine and a lovely Chardonnay or light Beaujolais wine.
