Restaurant quality. Great balance of flavors. A+ for ease of preperation. A nice surprise as I was very unsure how this recipe would turn out as I prepared it even though I thought the flavor combinations sounded good. Don't expect a flavor explosion rather a wonderful melding of flavors that compliment one another. Wonderful.
