Tas and Ahron, Firstly, thank you for your lovely compliments ...
This dish is a classic Greek citrus producing area dish ... it is simple, fragrant, aromatic, elegant and yet so simple to prepare ... and looks beautiful plated ...
One of the things I love most about the southeastern Mediterranean is the aromas of the ripening fruit, and especially the citrus varieties ... Lemon and orange ... Heavenly ...
The subtle perfume of the vanilla is lovely too and one can use vanilla bean instead of extract. I happened to be out of it ...
Thanks again.
Ciao.
Margi.
