I enjoy making tomato rice because it's simple, delicious, and comes together quickly. This one-pot dish is perfect for busy days when I need something comforting yet nourishing. The blend of tomatoes, spices, and peas creates a wonderful mix of tangy, spicy, and subtly sweet flavors. Plus, it's incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with a variety of sides, from tofu kabobs to creamy yogurt dips.
