  • What a wonderful surprise. I made this for grilled lamb and have been putting it on everything from chicken to shrimp to steak.

  • Amazing that something so simple could add so much to many dishes! I followed the recipe exactly for my first outing but I may try adaptations in the future. I've used it on roasted vegetables, sautéed shrimp and grilled chicken and fish. The fennel adds a nice little surprise with some bites!
