Two stars means "has potential", which is very accurate in this case. This dish has such an interesting flavor... it's a shame that it was so overpowered by the strength of the garlic. I wanted to eat it, but was afraid no one would come near me for days if I did! So, I think I would like to make it again, but with a LOT less garlic (or perhaps if it were whole garlic cloves, roasted until soft and mellow that would work).09/12/09
