Hi @shinecrystalline! Thank you for your visit to my post. Tomatoes are not cheap all the time, only at harvest time, during the first quarter of each year. Venezuela is a hot country, so it is difficult to produce other months of the year, so I always take advantage, both tomatoes, onions and eggplants, because it is the time of the year.
I hope this recipe that my mother taught me, will be useful for your good dishes. Greetings.
