Unexpectedly FANTASTICDecember 31, 2007By Shekky04
"I fully expected this recipe to be good. I had no idea it would be THAT good. The dijon and pecan herb mix make a nice compliment to the lamb without weighing your palate down with an overload of rosemary and thyme. I'm very happy I've found it. This is not only a recipe I'll make again, it is an ""Ace up my sleeve"" I'll pull out when I plan to impress those I'm hosting."
