The great tomato debate
We are a family divided. Two of us like tomatoes, but three do not. Because of this disparity, we often discuss the proper type of canned tomatoes to use when cooking. Sometimes I buy the petite-diced variety of tomatoes so that they will be less noticeable. Recently I tried a new dish that we all loved -- shrimp and grits. The tomato-haters in the family did not particularly care for the chunks of yummy tomato pieces found floating amongst their food. Thankfully, they didn't object to the tomato flavor, just to the chunks.

Cristi -- I need this recipe...
ReplyDeleteI have grits. I have no idea what to do with them to make them palatable to my most definitely either northern or southwestern family.
But this... well,this with the tomatoes still IN the dish... looks yummy...
Your family sounds like mine! We also have the great tomato debate. I generally buy the petite diced to cook with, as well. The only time I don't is for soup and some casseroles - for the exact same reason that you mentioned.
