There is a version of this recipe in the new Martha Stewart cookbook which seems to combine and borrow a bit from these variations. The version I made includes bay leaves, red pepper flakes, rosemary and orange peel. The flavor is very nice. I wish I had seen this recipe first as I think fennel seeds would be an outstanding addition.
