Wonderful dish that bakes in the oven. Doubles nicely & cooks unattended - good enough to serve guests. I like it spicier & greener - dried habanero (few seeds) & handfuls of parsley from the garden makes an especially nice dish. Serve with fresh pineapple salsa & tossed green salad (full of garden vegies in the summer). Allow 6 hours marinating time - let set in the fridge overnight.
