    Made this as a starter and served with home made garlic bread. I did not have any pine nuts but it was fine without them. It was so easy but impressive and tasty.

    Made this for our main with new potatoes and salad. Was a lovely simple but great tasting and looking meal so will definitely make again for guests. Don't think it would be right without the balsamic vinegar though.

    Lovely - I made them on a dough base - rather like pizza which should cut down the fat content, and added mushrooms as I had them, we really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the rest for lunch
