Hi DDL, I used this today as a basis for a casserole. Tweaked it by adding stewing steak, a little red wine, thyme instead of rosemary and cooked cooler for longer.

All in all a great success as Mr E came back for seconds and polished off Miss E's left overs. You could still get a good taste of what it would taste like without the meat and I promise next time I make it to do that.

Thank you for the inspiration.
