"This recipe comes from a show I watched many years ago "The Cook and the Chef". I love Maggie Beers recipes, she is a lovely lady who has the best recipes. I wrote this down to make ears ago, and have never really gotten around to it. Hoping to do so soon. Notes: Many of Maggies recipes call for verjuice which she has her own brand of, so here is an explanation of verjuice ~ Because it is made from grapes, the best substitute for verjuice is white wine vinegar. This can be used as 1:1 substitute for verjuice. Lemon juice is another good substitute for verjuice, just reduce the quantity by half when substituting as lemon juice has a stronger flavor."
