Made this as a starter over the Christmas period and it was absolutely gorgeous. Wouldn't change the recipe one bit.

I did this as the starter for my Christmas meal and, despite some murmurings about bones, I had 4 completely empty plates and compliments all round. It could not have been easier to prepare and made a really light but very tasty start to the meal.
