feijoa salsa with prawns & roasted tomatoes

Tastes of the sea, roasted vine-ripened tomatoes and the tangy-fruity blend of chilli and feijoa and mango… another magical blend of flavours from Amanda Laird of the New Zealand Herald… I really can’t wait to see what she is doing with feijoa this season.
