Wonderful! Quick to put together and a beautiful balance of flavors. I cooked along with some leeks and butter and the little run-off sauce gave them a great flavor as well.

This is absolutely delicious. Not overly sweet and the fish didn't get dried out. I added a few more cloves of garlic.. Mmmm, perfect!

This is fabulous, and easy. The flavor is great and it is sweet but not too sweet. The garlic adds just the right amount of savory.
