Thank you so much, Jim. I love the thought of having a basic sauce to build on like this and love your tip about stirring properly - my goodness, it does make sense. I love this...and now you've brought up Stuffed Kibbeh Balls...well, I know exactly what I want to make next...

Great post - I need to compile a grocery list, shop and get started. Thanks so much, as always.
