Has the ground to be a lovely meal, I halved the recipe for two and feel it could have done with a few more tomatoes as well as deseeding them to make the end dish a bit less watery. Overall flavour was lovely, the olives were a great touch. Topped ours with some crumbly goats cheese which also worked well.
