For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable stock or broth. To peel tomatoes easily, score an 'X' on the bottom of each tomato and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins will slip right off. Feel free to add other Mediterranean vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, or artichoke hearts. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens up the flavors. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors actually develop more over time.
