Big flavours from a few ingredients-sometimes we overlook the simplest of things!!<br/>We love dishes like this...in fact I make something very similar with fresh chilies,garlic and lashings of ginger.<br/>This was a nice change of pace...and yes..I know everybody else has said it, but you really do need some lovely crusty bread for those juices!!

This was quite tasty, but even though I used garlic infused oil in addition to the garlic cloves, I thought it didn't taste very garlicky. I would probably add some garlic salt to the pan next time, and there will definitely be a next time!

I made this for dinner tonight, with a green salad and lots of good bread. I followed the recipe exactly, except for substituting smoke paprika for regular. It was delicious, and two of us killed it!!!
