I’d sprinkle the insides alongside tabular array salt earlier stuffing, since at that topographic point wasn’t plenty inwards my filling to flavor them to my taste. I’d too toss inwards some chopped parsley, which would get got added a piffling freshness to the dish, although the dried rosemary did run nicely.
