This is a very common side dish around here. It goes very well with fried fish (as I did), salted cod cakes or omelettes of any type. The tomato rice is rich in flavor and very satisfying. Cooked this last weekend after a trip to the fish market where I bought tiny sardines to fry. Read more For me it is the best marriage in the kitchen :) See less

How to make it
