"Today I am here with a new recipe I made in partnership with @MuirGlen and @TheFeedfeed, Tomato Rice! These tomatoes are the best organic tomatoes from the farm to table. It makes my cooking a breeze. If you haven’t tried them yet, go to your local co-op and have some. I bought mine from @oceanbeachpeoplesorganicfoodmarket.
This recipe is inspired by a popular South Indian dish, Thakkali Sadam. It’s a rice-based dish made with lots of tomatoes and spices. Tomato Rice can be served without any side dishes as it is very tasty and flavorful on its own, especially since I used @MuirGlen tomatoes. This recipe is also fabulous to pack for lunch boxes since it is a super quick to make."
