This recipe is one I created to show off the flavors of the Northwest with a twist. Yep, I just had to add the jalapeno! ;) Of course, you don't have to add that when you make this. You could use Hot sausage instead. Heh heh OR not.
It's an easy recipe and the flavor is very rich and tasty. Now you have two new recipes to try. :)
