Notes
hints and tips
Taste the storks for cooking, as they are the hardest part! You should be looking for soft texture that will melt in your mouth; no crunch is needed.
For added freshness, squeeze a lemon wedge on top before serving!
Make sure the garlic is golden when infusing your oil. If the garlic is too dark, it will give a bitter taste to the dish.
In that case, I suggest taking a clean pan and starting again.
