this dish had a great WOW factor! Made as written to go with recipe#399253. Though I did add a little mint, as it was tangled with the basil :) <br/>I have never "grated" a tomato, so I used one fresh and a little canned, diced tomato. I will definately make this again! made for Aussie swap, Jan 2014
