Notes
My favorite and delicious. Got the recipe book at Pleasant Hill, 44 years ago on the way home from our honeymoon. It turns a veggie that most would shun based on outward appearances into a delight. Wife says she generally selects a larger one. Pairs with a nice cut of roast beef for maximum comfort food! ~ Russ Crull
