- 4 ripe red tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp grated Cheddar, Parmesan, or other hard cheese
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and fry the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes.

- Bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for approximately 40 minutes.

- Note: For a quicker version of this recipe, you can use boil-in-the-bag or instant brown rice. While it's cooking according to the package instructions, heat the oil, and fry the onion and garlic until they are just beginning to brown. Add the sun-dried and fresh tomatoes, and sauté for another 5 minutes. When the rice is ready, stir it into the tomato mixture, season to taste, add the basil, stir in the cheese, and serve.
