Head to the store and pick up peas, canolan oil, parsnip, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the canolan oil you could follow this main course with the Cherry-Apricot Turnovers as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 2 hours and 20 minutes. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Autumn.
