Not bad but prep is laborious

Tastes really good, but cutting the silverskin takes a while. Try asking your butcher if they can do it, since they have specialized tools and skills!

Unexpected side effects

After taking it out of the oven, I left this dish to cool off next to my pet lizard, unfortunately now he's 350ft tall now and is currently destroying Tokyo, Japan.
