  1. I had this in a Mediterranean restaurant in London a few years ago and it is absolutely delicious. It looked exactly the same as yours.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe.

  2. Thanks, so glad you like it. Yes, there are various takes on this Mediterranean delicacy.

    It's comforting food, with a slice of wholegrain or a slice of brown bread. It was a particular favourite of my father's.
