This was a hit at my house we loved it. Made for Recipe Swap # 39 - April 2010 in the Aust/NZ forum

I thought this was pretty good - next time I'd probably make mine a bit sweeter (couldn't much taste the honey). Another reviewed mentioned having a problem with it burning, and I wanted to add that using an indoor grill gives much more control over the heat. Made this with Potatoes With Rosemary and Carrots Vichy for ZWT5 Jammin' Java Jivers. Thanks!

Made for Aus/NZ Make My Recipe Edition 7. We didn't really care for these. They were nice and tender, but we thought the amount of basil was overpowering. I might make these again, but would definitely cut back on the amount of basil.
