Method

1. Place tomatoes, tomato purée, pepper and mixed herbs in a small saucepan.
2. Cover, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
3. Preheat grill to a moderate temperature.
4. Slice farls widthways (see photo) to make 2 thin pizza bases from each. Toast on the outside only.
5. Spread each untoasted side with the hot tomato mixture, then top with the ham and cheese.
6. Grill for 2–3 minutes until the topping is bubbling hot. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
