This is modeled on the excellent recipe from the excellent book Olympia Provisions by Elias Cairo and Meredith Erickson . My own small touches were to switch to garlic powder and to add a bit of lamb. The lamb can just be tasted at this level and I think it is just the right thing. The larger one is still maturing.
