This week's recipe comes to us from our new friend and Kosher foodie, Mark Meisel.  I've had this recipe several times before, and even when I was a vegetarian, I would only eat this meat.  Thanks for the recipe, Mark!  -Daniela   Besides worshipping G_D and laying guilt trips on each other, the most joyous thing in our Jewish heritage is food.
