I don't know what I did that was so different from everyone else but this was not something I'd try to make again. I made exactly as directed - and still ended up adding the Tony Chachares like another reviewer said. My husband thought it was OK, but I thought it lacked flavor - maybe I just expected more flavor given the recipe title and all the great reviews.11/30/09

This was very tasty for those who love garlic. Very easy to prepare and even the leftovers were terrific. I served with rice and steamed snap peas in sesame oil.08/09/09
