- 45 minutes to make
- Serves 4
I found this recipe on the web and just loved the sound of it... especially with the addition of the mushroom sauce... the serving size depends on the size of the appetites and the size of the fryers... it could serve 8 people instead of 4. Read more .but I would make double the sauce if I was serving 8 people. See less
