Last weekend I visited a farmer’s market, just for the great offer of heirloom tomatoes.
I couldn’t resist and bought some. I prepared the oven roasted tomato sauce and the remaining 500 grams I ladled as a tomato curry
over rice into a bowl. Instead of using crushed tomatoes, I chopped all of tomatoes but 4 and added them to the onion mixture.
The result was a really delicious meal.
