This was an enjoyable, but quick and simple lunch. I made half the recipe, roughly halving all ingredients except for using the full garlic clove and about 2 ounces smoked salmon. I used about 3/4 ounce walnuts and topped with freshly ground black pepper and freshly grated Parmagiano Reggiano. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

We enjoyed this dish very much but added a bit mor smoked salmon to the recipe. I was very, very tasty and leftovers where just as good.
