Add the tomatoes and leave to simmer for 5-10 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down to a sauce like consistency. Stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper to taste
To Serve: Place in a bowl or individual ramekins. Scatter over the parsley. Serve with a tapas selection or bread as a starter or light meal.
