We made this for an Easter Dinner party and it was a big hit! Everyone was very pleased with the flavor, and complimented that it hid the 'thick lamb' taste. We don't have a food processor so instead had to chop everything into small pieces- it still turned out wonderful. I recommend trying this one!
