It was delicious
Mine tasted very organic (came from a local farmer)
I have made this recipe twice. I find the original preparation to be slightly flat and missing something, although the recipe is an excellent springboard for all sorts of customizations. I think some sort of acid would round it out, lemon, a dash of cider or balsamic vinegar. I used a drizzle of balsamic glaze this time which added a zip. I think bacon fat might be a welcome sautéing fat.
