Sometimes we see recipes that call our attention, but it is thinking in a concrete version when we activate our taste buds, making us salivate.

This is the case of this recipe, because although the original was not only with plant ingredients (for a small, but important detail), we saw that it had the potential to be improved.

And so, with a small variation, we can enjoy a very healthy dish with small explosions of flavor thanks to the touch so alive and particular that they give you the dried tomatoes, which you will already know by the pate of dried tomatoes and almonds .

On the other hand, the main ingredients of this dish provide us: carbohydrates that we load energy, vitamin A , vitamin C , vitamins B group ( B1 , B2 and B3 ), calcium , iron , potassium , phosphorus , magnesium , sodium , fiber , lycopene , tryptophan and beta-carotene .

Below we show you the ingredients and steps to follow so that in 1 hour, or even less (depending on the cooking time required by the rice), you have your timbale ready 🙂
