This was a little bit weird with the mint, not sure it really needed it but other than that initial strangeness it was really lovely. I didn't have with any rice or breads but was really tasty.
The 4th item from the top, and the 5th item from the bottom of the ingredients list is missing. Could you please update the list to include the item names? I look forward to trying this recipe! :)
