This has been a favorite of mine for years. Great with a nice cucumber and orange salad or corn bread and tossed green salad. YUM.

I did not cook it nearly as long as recommended for each step because I was pressed for time. Overall I probably cooked it max 40 min. total. The meat was deliciously tender and not overdone... Be liberal with the spices as well for extra zing depending on your preference! :)
