I would give this recipe a 30 if I could. Awesome. Everytime I make it I get rave reviews. I do make one change. Instead of using savory, I use lemon zest. Savory is expensive and I haven't found another recipie that calls for is so I just omit it. The lemon gives it a good kick. You will love this recipe.
