Smoky salty bacon is perfect with sweet corn. Love this for dipping into soup or chili or to eat with a salad!

Tessa, All Purpose Rub is a spice mix from NoMU (a South African spice company). You'll find the link to their site just before the recipe.

This looks really lovely and is making me hungry just looking at it. What is All purpose rub though?

Thanks! I was right about it making a comeback. Made it for an impromptu lunch with friends yesterday. We used matured Cheddar instead of Pecorino, which worked beautifully!

So glad you liked it Kristia.

The easiest way to get garlic out of their skins quickly is to put the separated cloves on a wooden chopping board. Place the flat side of a large knife on the clove of garlic and bash down with the palm of your hand (being careful not to cut yourself). This will split the skin open and you can get the garlic out easily. Then, to get the smell of garlic off your hands, simply rub your hands on any stainless steel item you have (I rub my hands on the inside of my steel vegetable basin).

I used a 400g tin of cherry tomatoes but you could also use the peeled (whole) tomatoes.

Just curious -- What size tin and what type of tomatoes do you use (diced? whole? tomato paste?)? Thanks! I made it once with a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes (drained). The flavor was great, but it looked different than your photos :)

I made this on Wednesday night for supper and it turned out wonderfully! I used Vidalia Sweet Onions instead of red onions (just because I had no red ones) and the gravy was so good. I was a little worried it would be too sweet but it wasn't. This was the perfect quick and easy supper recipe to make after a busy day.

Leslie, I definitely think it would work with Watermelon. I love watermelon with salty flavours.

Cindy, I don't fry it, I bake it in the oven. And if you want, instead of using a loaf tin you can use a skillet to bake it in.

Re: Aubergine Involtini with Herbed Ricotta

Kristia Van Heerden — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 06:47:06 -0000

I struggle to find ricotta sometimes. Can I just double up on cottage cheese for this one?

I tried this recipe out last night. What a winner! It's relatively cheap to make and you can spend a little time chilling out while the tomatoes and garlic are in the oven. I can see it becoming a regular for dinner. I only have one question: Do you have a simple way of getting the garlic out of the skins? It took me forever (okay, it took ten minutes, but it felt really long)!

I'm definitely going to get a copy of Food & Home. Your recipes are amazing and never fails! I love your book "Simple & Delicious". Can't wait for your next one.
