I tasted it immediately as the recipe indicated. It was unpalatable. It would 
not have been palatable an hour later either, IMO. 

I did NOT throw it away. I put it on my compost pile to feed my less 
discerning garden friends. :-)

There is no indication in the recipe that this dish is supposed to be aged or 
left to cure. It specifically states that it is to be served immediately 
which precludes such a consideration.
