This is a real winner. I did not have Sherry so I subbed Marsala and a little lemon juice. Wow! This is a fantastic dish!

This was so hearty,filling and healthy. Just right on a cold winter day. I added a jalapeno pepper for a little heat. Next time I plan to add a small amount of chopped spinach or other greens to make it even healthier.
