This is a very tasty recipe. I did make a minor change. Instead of 5 tomatoes I used one pint of grape tomatoes. I also omitted the olives, mainly because I didn't have any on hand. Next time I will add them. The directions mentioned adding 'rocket', but they were not included in the ingredient list. Not knowing what rocket is I z-mailed the chef who kindly replied that it is a type of salad green a little bit like spinach or lettuce, with a sharp, almost bitter flavour. My DH said this recipe deserves a 5* rating, and I agree. I will definitely be making this again with the addition of spinach. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
