    I tried this for a Valentine's starter. The flavour was good but I think I will try again in the summer on a BBQ as I don't think grilling had quite the same effect. Tasty though!

    Had this for our Good Friday Easter BBQ last year. It was so delicious we've decided to do it again this year.
