It really didn't have much flavour! Next time I'll try a different recipe.

Quick, very easy, and quite tasty. Don't like pimientos so skipped that. Will definitely make again.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was very easy to make. I didn't have pimento on hand so I skipped it, but it would have looked nice with it included.
