Yesterday, I served this meal for dinner.  I do not think that I will cook it again.  The preparation of the meal was challenging and the dish was only liked but not loved by the family.

I found this recipe on one of my mother's handwritten recipe cards that she kept in her kitchen in Lloyd Harbor, New York.
