Hello friends and fellow foodies!

For some time I had this idea of a tomato rice but for some reason, among them my “Sous chef’s” doubts of its possible success, I had not tested it.

My experience has been that when I have an idea like this I should try it, because the results are generally great.

So, once I made up my mind, I found some good ripe tomatoes and started my “sofrito” (stir fry) as it would begin any other locrio or vegetable rice.  So, tomatoes were already frying, but something led me to add celery, first just a little bit, then a good amount; finally I’m not sure how, but some red onion found its way in also! That’s when I thought: This is a gazpacho!

This is a delicious and healthy dish. A vegetarian option that will not disappoint you!
