I love tomatoes! Tomato is nutritionally categorized as a vegetable though it is botanically a fruit. It has various health benefits, including prevention of cancer and heart disease. It contains Lycopene, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. I love to incorporate tomatoes in my cooking. I normally include it in my sinigang, beef stew, and frittata.

I will share a healthy recipe that uses lots of tomatoes. By the way, the tomatoes I used were from Ilocos. They were brought by my mom’s sisters, who have a tomato farm in their province. Since they have brought loads of tomatoes, I decided to cook this recipe.

Here are the ingredients:

1 kilo of tilapia

10 pcs ripe tomatoes

3 pcs shallots

3 cloves garlic

3 eggs, beaten

Fish sauce

Spring onions

Cooking oil for frying

1 cup water

How to do it:

Prepare the fish for frying then fry them until golden brown and crispy. Set aside. Sauté the shallots, garlic, and tomatoes. Add a tablespoon of fish sauce and water and let it simmer until the tomatoes are wilted. Add the eggs while continuously stirring. Add the fried fish then simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Turn off the heat and put the spring onions. Cover for another minute.

This is my mom and dad. They left for the US last January to visit my eldest sister and her family. I miss them. I’m happy for them that they were finally there to see my sister whom they haven’t seen for years. I’m glad they’re enjoying their vacation. They have also visited some of their relatives in California and Las Vegas. They’ll also visit my other sister in Vancouver in April who gave birth recently. I wish we were also there to see them. I miss being with them, as a complete family and I hope it will happen soon.

By the way, my dad celebrated his birthday last February 12. Belated Happy Birthday Dad! We love you and miss you! Mwah
