Personal Connection

Growing up, I didn't like to eat tomato based sauces because I thought the spices in tomato sauce was overpowering. I really love this recipe because it completely highlights the tomato without a lot of additional ingredients. Tomato eggs is my favorite tomato based dish, but this is a close second.
