More of our seasonings as "Tools of Creativity." This is adapted from Jenn Segal of Once Upon a Chef. She says, "Inspired by a recipe from Diana Henry Jenn said "Think of this dish as a cross between baked polenta, a quiche, and a frittata."
Here, in addition to adding Gianelli sausage, we made it with asparagus instead of spinach, and substituted our gourmet Go-G0 Garlic and gourmet Dill'ers Choice as seasonings. This kicked it up a notch because of our seasonings. In the Dill'ers Choice: Dill, lemon peel, onion, parsley & black pepper. Of course, our famous best selling Go-Go Garlic, pure crushed garlic (not salt or powder) with hint of minced parsley and minced onion is description defyingly delicious.
