I don't want to give stars, because while this recipe was edible, it was far from enjoyable. I followed the recipe exactly, and found there was an error in that the tomatoes, which are to be added later, are included in the 'first 11 ingredients' to combine. Still, I doubt that was enough to make this recipe bad. Also, there was so much gravy. It was really 'Mustard Sauce with fish in it.' I understand the combination of tastes, but this was just off. We're pretty perplexed.
