The sauce sounds really interesting and I have all of that stuff on hand! I might just have to give it a go.

Honeywine, please do and let me know how it goes. I made it last night and it was very good. For my own taste, next time I will use a little less lemon juice. I did use more garlic than called for and that was just fine.
