This recipe for sorbet is straight from our heart to yours, via Capri! This is truly and completely inspired by our trip to the Capri island in Italy. It was a hot summer afternoon and after a cruise from Amalfi early morning, we had just reached Capri. We took a funicular to reach the high street area which was at a higher altitude.

A wholesome and healthy meal by itself. A versatile dish which can either be eaten as a salad or a main course with accompaniments. Assemble all your ingredients and it hardly takes any time to put this together. I use leftover rice for this.
