I wasn't so sure about rosemary, as it can quickly overpower a dish, but this was just fantastic! The orange peel and molasses were a great combo! Same for the onion and orange salad. The red wine vinegar really made the salad! Served with the Sun-dried Tomato & potato side as well and it was a meal I'm sure I"ll crave again and again!
