Good recipe! And I like Brenda Blethlyn (she plays Vera in the TV series based on Ann Cleeves novels).

This is a favourite lunch dish when on holiday, but with many more than two cloves of garlic, sliced not crushed. Always with fresh lemon juice squeezed over it, or occasionally orange to give it a bit of a twist. I definitely need a holiday ☺
