I like to use Craisins (dried cranberries) and a green Granny Smith apple." --Chef Ney 11/98 Prevention online http://healthyideas.com/ ~(kitpath@earthlink.net) Recipe by: Chef Ney c1998 Healthy Ideas Posted to EAT-LF Digest by kitpath@earthlink.net on Nov 09, 1998, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.

This was a very tasty and easy dish. The olives make it look kind of exotic. I added a little Cinnamon and some chili powder. Absolutely perfect.
