That's the original recipe. What I usually do is this.

Instead of shallots I use a small onion, chopped. Instead of 4 ripe tomotoes I usually use a couple cans of diced tomatoes juice and all. I also add a handful of chopped fresh basil if I have it on hand.

My mom first made this for me when they were living in Toronto, it was so wonderful and when I have it it always reminds me of visiting them there.
