Episode: The Three Sisters and the Post Office Restaurant in Leura

Recipe By: Mark McCluskey

This is an easy dish with very complex flavour from the herb pasta, the seasoned meat, the wild earthy mushrooms and the aromatic scented jus which you really only taste half way through the dish if it’s done right.
