I painstakingly measured before cooking and after cooking all ingredients and their remains in order to provide you with most accurate nutritional information. So if you notice any discrepancies between nutritional information on individual ingredients and the resulting dish, this is why.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHAYBREW.
