Description

Straightforward it may be, but this is one of my favourite recipes in this
chapter.

It's such a simple combination: just two vegetables mixed with a few aromatic ingredients, which form a sort of deconstructed tapenade.

It's very easy to throw together, looks glossy and gorgeous, and always seems to hit the spot: a perfect summer supper.
