This recipe was beyond unacceptable, when frying the paste that had the properties of something that you'd expect to find on a construction site it became a fierce black and crisp texture on the outside while remaining it's vile doughy state on the inside, I STRONGLY recommend cooking in the oven rather than frying as this turns the paste into something slightly more edible. Good Food has not lived up to its name.
