    Apples worked nicely in this, i added a few sultanas towards the end aswell, dont know why though. Worked out really well and will be making again especially as it counts a 2 towards your 5 a day.

    I included a pack of Asda's Pork & Chorizo sausages to "meatify" it up a bit - and although it was somewhat overpoweringly tomatoey, it was given a thumbs up and decreed to be a "do again" job. We ate it with crusty bread rolls. I think next time, I would try to counterbalance the acidity of the tomatoes rather more. Perhaps not using that particular brand of sausage would help!
