Why We Like It

Keith found the original recipe in an Ontario Lamb booklet, and he adapted it for our tastes. Keith originally posted it on my old What’s For Supper blog, on November 25, 2017.

Since then, my Excel meal planner shows that we’ve had it 31 times, so that’s clear evidence that we really enjoy this supper!

It’s really easy to make, there’s not much to clean up, it looks fancy, and it tastes delicious
