    I love this recipe. I tried it with tinned tomatoes, but prefer it with fresh. I served it alongside John Torode's slow-roasted pork shoulder (also a good recipe! Perfect, melt-in-the-mouth pork with excellent crackling) and have cooked batches of it to serve with sausages and mash/wedges for mid-week suppers. MMM.
