Recip looks good but I must say I thought it should be called Pune Nuts wirh some tomatoes judging from the photo! And around here, THAT quantity of pine nuts is not considered a "garnish" but a main ingredients.....and a VERY COSTLY one now too! Love pine nuts but haven't been able to buy them for YEARS!
