Sicilian Caponata
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a full baking sheet with parchment paper. Put in the oven while it preheats – this will heat up the sheet and speed up the browning of the eggplant.
Scallion Gremolata
Chop together the scallions, parsley, and lemon zest. When roughly chopped, sprinkle with sea salt and keep chopping until the herbs are medium-fine. Add the olive oil.
Basic Short Crust Pastry
Using the tips of your fingers gradually rub the butter into the flour until it has the texture of coarse breadcrumbs.

Happy Pizza
Happy pizza happened when I was looking for a quick lunch and decided to repurpose into pizza a leftover naan bread with some tomato and mozzarella I had in the fridge. It was an epiphany. Naan is a fabulous foil for all kinds of savory toppings.

The title of this easy tomato sauce says it all. It is really easy, tomatoey and tasty too! It is my go to tomato sauce for pastas, veggies, pizzas you name it, plus it can make it with fresh or canned tomatoes
