"This recipe was quite good, but I felt it needed a bit of zing, so I added a few spices, (garlic, marjoram and a touch of thyme). I also cooked it a a lower temperature and also a longer cooking time and it turned out really tender and not at all dried out. Great dinner to put in the oven before Church and come home to dinner ready and the house smelling fabulous."
