Excellent, both warm and at room temperature, so, as Engrossed suggested, great for a healthy, flavoursome snack! Ideal, therefore, for lunchboxes. I know I'll be taking some to work whenever I've made them, and I'll certainly be making them again. I followed ~Nimz~'s suggestion of doubling the herbs and added an extra clove of garlic as well. Really easy to follow instructions and quick to make. Thanks for sharing this super recipe!

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
