Introduction
I'm afraid that this recipe is rather vague as it was a slap-dash approximation of a dish that I was served a few years ago, and that I have just recreated in the kitchen this evening. It turned out beautifully, though completely different to the original dish. Serve with rice. Serves 1 very greedy person.
