I thought this was disgusting! I was very diappointed. I will never make it again.
1/28/2012 11:20:32 AM Report AbuseThis dish is not great. You have to like the taste of anise to enjoy this dish. It also was a bit soggy. I wouldn't make this again.
11/10/2011 06:09:54 PM Report AbuseYuck! Needs more flavor! I will not make this again.
8/31/2010 03:30:42 PM Report AbuseI thought this dish was okay. I added some garlic salt and oregano to try and boost the flavor and that worked ok, but I still found it to be a little bland. Would try making it again with some of the alterations I read about in the other comments.
5/10/2010 11:39:15 AM Report AbuseProsciutto already has a lot of salt. How about more garlic, or adding basil, oregano, pepper to suit your taste?
