Definitely a new favorite! This recipe is so easy to follow and the flavors are incredible. The pineapple adds the perfect amount of sweetness and tanginess. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

This dish was okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the pineapple didn't really add much. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
