I found this recipe in a Bon Appetit Barbeque! magazine I got back in 1990. I remembered the dish but not the recipe or where I had found it, so I went on a web search recently and I didn't find anything like this. Read more . I've been going thru old magazines, have found it, and am making sure I don't lose it again!
