So sorry I am late in the making, the initial plans to share a lamb dish with gs didn't happen. Have saved the lamb in the freezer for when it does. I did go with the recipe using beef and the wine option. As I often do when cooking for just me - I did half the recipe. So impressed not only for taste but presentation as well. A real winner ... it will so be on for my summer brunches! Great for a brunch dish it also makes for a great lunch and a light evening meal!
