BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH STEWED TOMATOES
Boy, does this bring back memories! When I was in high school, they served this every Friday in the cafeteria. I guess they had to make sure we had our vegetables :) It sounds gross, but I couldn't wait until Fridays, the macaroni and tomatoes were so good together. To this day, almost 20 years later, whenever I have baked macaroni & cheese, I crave stewed tomatoes. With this recipe, I don't have to.

STEWED TOMATOES (GOBBLEDYGOOK)
This is what we called 'Gobbledygook' when we were kids. It's actually a Southern version of very sweet, stewed tomatoes. It isn't the most attractive dish in the world, but it's delicious. Don't try making this with fresh tomatoes. It won't work. And you really do need that much sugar in there.

GREEK STEWED GREEN BEANS AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH TOMATOES
Green beans are one of many vegetables that both Greek and Turkish cooks stew with abundant olive oil in dishes known as ladera. This recipe is inspired by one of them, but it's a far cry from the authentic version, which requires three times as much oil and simmers for a longer time. Don't be put off by the faded color of the beans; they're comforting and delicious.

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.

CANNED STEWED TOMATOES
I have been making these for 25 years or better & you can either just eat them straight from the fridge or use in chili or other dishes. I use them in chili, Italian soup, goulash, eat as a cold veggie at meals when we don't have fresh ones. You could buy them in the stores but I never could find a recipe to can them myself so...

Steps:
- 1. Cut up celery, onions (slivers) bell pepper, & minced garlic (store bought is ok if you don't have a lot of fresh) Keep garlic seperate. Don't add with veggies at this time. I use equal parts of all veggies & then add several Tb. of minced garlic to pot of tomatoes when I go to heat them.
- 2. When you cut the veggies just place them in a large bowl & scoop into tomatoes as much as is needed. Set aside for now.
- 3. Slip skins on tomatoes by plunging into boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, then plunging into a sink of cold water. This is refered to as shocking them. If you have stored the tomatoes in fridge until you have enough to can, set them out to get to room temp first. Core tomatoes & cut in half if large. If small, leave whole.
- 4. The white pan I have here held 11 quarts of stewed tomatoes.
- 5. Place 8 cups of your veggie mixture in large granite pot or stainless steel (not aluminum). To your pot of veggies, add about 4 or 5 of your large tomatoes that have been cut up & squeeze to make a juice. Just enough to barely cover veggies. Heat for about 10-15 minutes until it starts to give it up. Just heat through. You still want the veggies tender-crisp as they will cook more in the hot bath.
- 6. Add your prepared tomtoes & about 5 T. minced garlic to this size pot now & continue heating just until hot.
- 7. Fill quart jars adding 1/2 Tablespoon of canning salt per quart. Wipe jar rims so no food particles are on it. (I didn't say it was gonna be a neat job-refer to picture.)Place heated lids on just finger tight.
- 8. Hot bath for 10 minutes. Start timing when water comes to boil.

STEWED ROMANO BEANS WITH TOMATOES
Romanos hold up to longer cooking, as you'll see when you make this dish. Even when they soften, after 20 minutes of braising or stewing, they still have plenty of texture, their color remains good and they become somewhat juicy. If you can't find romano beans use regular green beans. Just reduce cooking time to 15 minutes.

Time 1h25m
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water, the milk, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste for the grits to a gentle boil. Whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is smooth and thick and falls easily from the spoon, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Towards the end of the cooking time for the grits, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice and the bay leaves. Season with cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Increase the heat under the tomatoes to medium high and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are pink and firm, an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. When the grits have thickened, stir in the cheese and butter. To serve, place a heaping spoonful of grits on each plate. Top with the shrimp and tomato gravy. Garnish with additional Parmigiano-Reggiano and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes: Selecting firm, blemish-free tomatoes ensures the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Combining different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom, adds depth and complexity to the stew.
- Roast the tomatoes before stewing: Roasting intensifies the tomatoes' natural sugars and enhances their flavor.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Vegetable broth, chicken stock, or even water infused with herbs and spices adds richness to the stew.
- Add aromatics and herbs: Onions, garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme are classic flavorings for stewed tomatoes.
- Simmer gently: Low and slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Season to taste: Adjust the seasonings, including salt, pepper, and herbs, to your preference.
