This is a very easy and delicious dish. I used all the ingredients with the exception of the oregano. The only thing I added was a squirt of lemon juice. I will definitely make this again.

This has got to me my all time favorite recipe. I crave it! My husband first made this for me when my cousin from NY was visiting. It was a hit. Whenever he is in the mood to "cook", I always ask him to make this.
