You tin play closed to alongside the flavorings here, together with it’s non a bad persuasion to laid upward a modest slice of the mixture to exam for spiciness, salt, etc. And please, don’t overcook these. They solely involve a infinitesimal or 2 per side. Even if they are a fiddling translucent inside, every bit they sit down for a infinitesimal on the newspaper towel, they volition complete cooking through. I actually promise yous plough over these a assay out soon. Enjoy!
