I have a version of this same dish, but I use fresh tomatoes - which does come with some seasonal limitations. This time of year, tomatoes are hard to find that taste good. I usually wait until I get some tomatoes on the vine or the farmer’s market has them. Hot house tomatoes have made a huge difference in seasonality so technically, you can do this anytime.
