Tomatoes and Onions and Peas, Oh My!

CCinSC's Note:

Very colorful, very simple and very good. I had this at a restaurant in downtown Asheville, NC called "Jack of the Wood". In addition to good food, they have wonderful live entertainment on the weekends and brew their own Green Man Ales. Check them out if you are in the area. They served this with "Bangers and Mash". Lovely.

Very good combination of ingredients. I used a red onion, with peeled and seeded Roma tomatoes. It made a very pretty side dish with great flavor. We had this alongside a pasta dish. It was easy to make and I will make this again. Thanks CC!

Great Flavour! I wonder why never thought of putting these ingredients together :0)) I highly recommend using purple onion; the colour of this side dish is so pretty!
