This is one of those dishes that have such simple ingredients but turns into something so much more than the sum of its parts. Eggplant, tomato and onion melt together into a rich combination of flavours that is so versatile. The original recipe is meant to be served at room temperature (and that’s my favourite) […]
Many, many years ago we discovered this recipe in one of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks and it has become a household staple ever since. It’s perfect winter comfort food and is super easy to make. It’s also a handy dish to serve when entertaining guests for dinner! The flavours work so well together you’ll be wishing […]
