You're right Lennie, this is delicious. I really hope you don't think that I messed around with your recipe, but after I assembled the ingredients I realised that I didn't have the time for chilling it properly, so instead I combined everything, made it into a roll and chilled it (in the freezer) for an hour - then rolled it in parsley and sliced it thinly on to melba toast. Although it didn't look as pretty as your way, the flavours were great and I think cooking is all about adapting and evolving! Thankyou for posting this.
