The first time making this was in grad school in a Therapeutic Whole Foods class. One of the best stews I have ever tasted that brings warmth and healing with all the herbs and spices used. A must try!

There are different ways to fry tomatoes, but each of them will require the hostess to spend row hours in the kitchen, so this food is usually better correct prepare on weekends or for special occasions. When tomatoes are roasted, they get a deep taste and are combined with seafood, antipasto and other roasted vegetables. Moreover, they are good suitable for use in the baking industry, in making bread or cake with custard.
