    Loved this recipe, it's a keeper. Substitued 1 tsp celery seeds in place of lovage seeds. Can be prepared in advance. Excellent for a small dinner party...serve with couscous, crusty Italian bread, salad & your good to go!

    I have made this twice and it is not only simple but delecious. The aroma is great and the combination of the spices produces an wonderful sweet flavor.
