This recipe lends itself well to ingredient adjustments. So feel free to adjust ingredients to make use of fresh produce or vegetables and herbs that are more suited to your taste buds. It's a good dish that is equally great served hot or cold, and it's goes well with a chilled salad or hot side dishes like cooked rice or roasted potatoes. If stored in an airtight glass container, this should keep in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
