This recipe was one of my favorites growing up. My mother used to make it for me on my birthday as a special treat for dinner. I’ve made this dish for many friends and they all love the smell and taste of it, and tell me they have never had anything like it. The smells and taste bring me back to when I was a little boy growing up in NJ. This also tastes great as a lettuce wrap.
