    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.

    I was not quite sure about this recipe as it did appear a little basic, maybe that is a good thing as it was just terrific. I used the harrissa paste and it certainly added a little something though my guests thought it was just as good without. Will make this again for sure.

    Packed with flavour. It is so tasty, I don't have it as a side dish I have one BIG plate full. I don't have any harissa, I couldn't find it in the supermarket but, it's great without it anyway.
