I love this recipe. I usually add chopped celery for another layer of flavor. It is a great side dish with turkey on the grill.

I have made this recipe for years and made it for guests, always with rave reviews! I like that I can put it in the oven and work on the rest of the meal. Easy, simple and quick to prepare. I'm glad that I found this again, since I can't find the original magazine that it was in! Thanks Taste of Home!!

Very simple, yet very elegant. It was easy prepare and have it baking in the oven. I also baked my entree, adding it when the time was right in order to have both items finish at the same time. A very good recipeand going into the permament collection.One thing I will try sometime, replacing the almonds with pine nuts. Just because.
