    I love this and often cook this with my partner. I tend to add dried chilli flakes as standard and on the odd occasion for a bit of a change I sometimes add chorizo. It is always yummy!

    This is a delicious and very filling breakfast and has become my first choice meal after my fast. I sometimes use coconut oil instead of olive oil, it doesn’t over-flavour the food and gives me the chance to get it into my day to help with ketosis.

    Amazing for a brunch. The dish required a small pinch of sugar to move the tartness of the tomatoes but I guess that is down to personal taste and the brand of chopped tomatoes used.
    I ask so added chopped red pepper to the dish as I had one to use up.
    Very tasty and very filling!

    Loved this! A great brunch and quite adaptable too. I added a diced courgette and 109g diced mushrooms too as I needed to use them. Soooo tasty and satisfying.
