This meal is high on my list of favorites to prepare because it fits so nicely with my methods and standards. It’s easy, delicious, and the flavors develop so nicely while it sits in the refrigerator waiting for dinner. In fact, I think the flavor just gets better the longer it sits, so I will sometimes make it the day before if I have time.
Usually I like to serve this over homemade egg noodles or spaetzle. However, I don’t always have time to make those so a bag of egg noodles works great in a pinch.
