It is worth the effort to hunt through stores to find the canned Italian plum tomatoes imported from Italy. It makes such a huge difference than big brand tomatoes. It is the only canned tomatoes I have seen WITHOUT huge amounts of salt added. Check the label, if the canned tomatoes you use have salt there will be no need to add any to this recipe. Wish there was a way to remove the salt once it has been added to the can.

Pickled Bologna

Good recipie but it is much better to leave in in the fridge for two weeks before serving! It takes time for the pickling to get through the meat!

Lovely breakfast, not only an omelet, but also there are several kinds of vegetables mixed with eggs, mint and basil add special flavour. Goat cheese goes nicely.
