SIMPLE STEWED TOMATOES
Another one of those days when I needed some stewed tomatoes, and had none. Came up with this and they turned out great. You can use as much or as little of the listed ingredients as desired along with the canned tomatoes. I simmer until the veggies are tender and the liquid is reduced and thick. Goes great over a pile of my Recipe #282180 and steamed broccoli.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your stewed tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color, feel heavy for their size, and have no blemishes.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Using a mix of tomato varieties can add depth and complexity to your stewed tomatoes. Try combining Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes before stewing them: Roasting the tomatoes before stewing them intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
- Add herbs and spices to taste: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your stewed tomatoes. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer the tomatoes gently: Stewed tomatoes should be simmered gently over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are softened and have released their juices.
- Season the tomatoes to taste: Once the tomatoes are stewed, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You may also want to add a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Conclusion:
Stewed tomatoes are a versatile dish that can be used in a variety of recipes. They can be served as a side dish, used as a sauce for pasta or meat, or even added to soups and stews. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make delicious stewed tomatoes at home.
