Perfect basic recipe! I like to add some herb like parsley, if I have any. Bit dry, as it should, as it's meant to be served with wet foods, to soak up the juices.

Can't get much easier than this! I used toasted slivered almonds and dried cranberries instead of raisins or currants. Went very well with a salmon filet. Made for Spring 2010 PAC.
