I did make some substitutions. I supped tarragon with some fresh fennel. I doubled the recipe. I was outta chili flakes so put in a bit of cayenne and paprika. You know, it was just okay for me. I don't feel like these flavors were particularly complimentary or anything, but they were fine. The brussel sprouts didn't absorb much of the flavor anyways. I'm eating it. It's okay. It was probably better off with just the ghee/butter and fennel and brussel sprouts with salt to tell you the truth. And they didn't mash so well, so it wasn't much of a meal. I suppose I could add more coconut flour, though... Anyways, Just a 3 stars for me. Nothing special, like I'd hoped.
