SWEETLY STEWED TOMATOES



Sweetly Stewed Tomatoes image

Yum! These stewed tomatoes are slightly sweet with a touch of dill. I used this as a sauce for chile rellenos. Great with a creamy cheesy pasta or risotto on a cold wintery night. You're gonna enjoy this! A typically Southern recipe because tomatoes are grown widely in the South, although they are grown all over America, so actually fit in all the regions of the USA!

Tips:

  • Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use a variety of ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are firm but not hard, with a deep red color and no blemishes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the tomatoes from scorching.
  • Sauté the aromatics before adding the tomatoes: Sautéing the onions, garlic, and herbs in a little olive oil will help to release their flavors and create a flavorful base for the stew.
  • Simmer the tomatoes gently: Bring the tomatoes to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the tomatoes for at least 30 minutes, or until they are softened and have released their juices.
  • Season the stew to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the stew immediately or store it for later: Creamy stewed tomatoes can be served immediately over pasta, rice, or polenta. You can also store the stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Creamy stewed tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve it over pasta, rice, or polenta, or simply enjoy it as a side dish, this stew is sure to please everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, creamy stewed tomatoes is a great recipe for both beginner and experienced cooks alike.
