"Very easy with a subtle taste of port! Of course at the back of that cupboard near the stove you really need to keep a selection of liquors for cooking and baking! I confess that, not realising just how tasty this spread would be, and that I might want to put the recipe on Zaar, I resorted to glugs and splashes. But I think the measurements are about..."

Sweetish vegetables go wonderfully well with seafood, and the tiny chilli pepper bite is great. Great for an easy main meal, but do serve it with crusty bread and a crisp, dry white wine. I also made a large salad as a starter...."
