I found this recipe in and article titled Italy – a Great Gastromic Getaway for Any Real Food Fan. I just couldn’t resist a little italian flavoured tart (who could?).

I love smearing, it gives me a sort of warm feeling, especially when it is the smearing of a relish of this unimaginable magnitude. We had it with Burger Me, its Veggie burgers […]
