We recently purchased Jamie Oliver's Comfort Food and spent such a happy weekend inside, in the warm and cozy living room while reading - but of course we weren't going to just sit and read: we had to get our hands busy! So we decided to start with the Tomato Beans - we did some modifications though, because we were looking for a complete meal, so decided to add some pork chops and voilá! A full and delicious meal!
It's indeed an awesome recipe - and we will keep making other recipes from Comfort Food :) So keep tuned!
