STEWED TOMATOES (GOBBLEDYGOOK)



Stewed Tomatoes (Gobbledygook) image

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.

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!

Adapted from Real American Food by Jane and Michael Stern (Alfred Knopf, 1986). Copyright 1986 by Jane and Michael Stern, and found at thesplendidtable.com. I like to serve this sweet/tart side dish with a plain, grilled meat, and a green salad. I personally add less sugar - closer to 1/2 of a cup, but wanted to submit the recipe in its original form.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes to ensure the best-tasting stew. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When stewing tomatoes, it's important not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the tomatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Cook on low heat: Stewing tomatoes should be cooked on low heat to allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Season to taste: Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a touch of honey or sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve immediately or store for later: Stewed tomatoes can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Stewed tomatoes are a versatile dish that can be used in a variety of recipes. They can be served as a side dish, added to soups and stews, or used as a topping for pizzas and pasta dishes. With their sweet and tangy flavor, stewed tomatoes are a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your meals.
