Didn't seem as time consuming, to me, as some other reviewers seemed to think. Very good. Would be better, in my opinion, with a verde sauce & garnished with olives, scallions & a bit of light sour cream.08/09/10

This was so delicious! Time consuming but incredibly delicious! I was so proud of myself after making this recipe! The sauce turned out like something that tasted it came from a restaurant! I can't wait to make it again.05/18/10
