Tilapia in tomato sauce
Description
Tilapia in tomato sauce is very simple and quick to prepare. Dinner or a second course for lunch will be ready in 30-35 minutes. There are no special intricacies in cooking, but you must taste the sauce and adjust the ingredients to your liking. Serve this fish with any side dish, but in my opinion, mashed potatoes and boiled rice are the best choices.
