My version doesn’t measure up to the traditional variety you might get at a restaurant, but it’s a little healthier and still tastes amazing.

Rather than using butter, I used butter flavored olive oil. And rather than cooking up white rice, I chose quinoa (mostly because I didn’t have any white rice!).

Dad’s garden was abundant with tomatoes so Mom decided to can some. These quick blanched tomatoes worked perfectly.

    This looks good and will definitely try it, if I can find the spice.

      You can make tons of this stuff with all the tomatoes you have! I’m sure Meijer’s will have the spice. Now, we just have to get Dad to like it :)
