"From Super Food Ideas magazine(July 2007). Be sure to use good quality olives, they make the dish. The lemon slices look very dramatic and give the dish a strong lemon flavour. Sometimes I just use grated lemon rind."

This a lovely meal - very simple to put together and the flavours were worth the wait. I will try to get my lemon slices a little thinner next time. Thank you for sharing.
