sorry, I tried seperating the sauce from the stuffing ingredients but wasn't successful. I trust you can figure it out.
Made this the other night. A delicious change from fried walleye. Usually when I try something new my wife will try it but usually with a small bite. For this dish she tried a small bite, then another, and another. Finally said "You can keep this recipe."
Don't be scared to use a good amount of spinach as it does wilt down a sizable amount. Didn't use the wild rice but will try it next time just for a change to see which I like better.
