The recipe was developed in my own kitchen, during my quest to find delicious vegan alternatives to my favorite meat-based dishes. The idea was to create a dish that not only satisfies vegan dietary requirements, but also appeals to non-vegans.

This recipe was created during a time when I was experimenting with different vegan alternatives. Despite being a meat-lover, I found this dish to be incredibly satisfying and flavorful. It' now a regular part of my meal rotation.
