    Can substitute red onions for Tropea onions, and balsamic vinegar for saba.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Stuffed whole roasted squid with breadcrumbs, dried fruits, pine nuts, capers and fennel; Sea bream with almond and breadcrumb crust, vinegar and thyme

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I changed the salad a bit to use up some produce from the fridge. Used small tomatoes and added some avocado. Also I marinated the onions with salt and vinegar (we prefer them this way) and used sherry vinegar instead of saba because I couldn't find any. Our only complain were the fresh oregano leaves. Will leave out next time I make it. Lovely flavours!
