I made this recipe and it was a disaster! The flavors were all wrong and the dish was inedible.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of flavors seems a bit odd to me.

I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the fennel added a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
