  1. I was recommended this recipe by a friend, I had all the ingredients so thought why not.
    It was such a tasty dish, loved by all who had it & will be making it again.

  2. This is a great recipe and one we often come back to. Especially on Christmas Eve.
    Simple to create but great flavour, just serve with crusty bread
