What to eat when you're in Barcelona in Spain? Hmmm... It has to be easy, and not "heavy" food, because it's extremely hot, and all you really wanna eat is watermelon and and ice cream. We ended up making this really delicious veggie stir fry with pork and quinoa and some tomato sauce to add some creaminess to the dish. It turned out way good.

Half cucumber
10 tomatoes
