4/5 tomatoes

2. Dry the tofu with a kitchen paper towel, before frying them in a pan for about 15mins until a golden brown.

3. Whilst waiting for the tofu to cook, slice out the tomatoes into medium size chucks

If you're get the chance to visit the beautifully cultured Bath, definitely check out the wonderful spas, Roman baths,  and the classic Sally Lunns for afternoon tea. But apart from the obvious, if you love flavourful Moroccan food check out Tagine Zhor, near the central square around the Abbey. 

These were just the starters and they were very well worth the price.
