The addition of a zesty gremolata provides a vibrant finish that perfectly balances the rich, savoury depths of the tomato and Kalamata olive sauce.

Ideal for a weekend lunch or a thoughtful dinner party, this heart-healthy dish is as nutritious as it is flavourful. The Mediterranean-inspired ingredients ensure the meal remains light yet comforting, making it a versatile choice for those looking to manage their blood sugar without compromising on culinary flair. Serve the tender slices alongside steamed green beans or roasted root vegetables for a complete, wholesome plate.
