Notes
If you prefer, you could also use smoked trout or tuna for this recipe.
I have used Perino Grape Tomatoes for this recipe. Tomatoes are best enjoyed at room temperature, as refrigeration can dull their flavour.
The Australian tablespoon is 20 ml or 4 teaspoons. In many other countries, the tablespoon is 15 ml or 3 teaspoons. Please adjust your measurements if necessary.
Ensure that the dish is adequately seasoned to your liking, to bring out the best flavour.
