    I tried this one a while back and found it delicious. I changed it slightly by adding a few chopped dates, but delicious in its original format too!!!

    Fantastic recipe! So easy to do. I "poshed it up" by serving it neatly on big plates and piping my guest's names on the rim :) It got a great reaction for such an easy dish.
