This recipe was prepared on an episode of One Chef One Critic by Jonny Hennessey, a sous-chef at the Gypsy Tea Room, one of our largest and most popular restaurants in downtown St. John’s. You can go to the Gypsy Tea Room and order this dish with a glass of wine. It would be brilliant. Or you might try making it yourself.
