We loved the bit of spice in this-sort of Mexico meets Italy, and the amount of herbs was jut right too. It cooked up really rich and beautiful looking but I added a couple of slices of bacon to your recipe so didn't photograph it. Otherwise I didn't change a thing, (and wouldn't the next time I make it). Thanks for a different way to make a family favourite.
