Betty's Stewed Tomatoes Recipe - Devine Cooking Recipes

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Stewed Tomatoes. This is the time of year that we have an abundance of tomatoes and green peppers. This is a recipe that I created about 35 years ago to use our over-supply of vegetables, and it has turned out to be a very nice side dish or an addition to soups and stews. It is very light and also tasty, and you can control the ingredients to keep it natural and healthy. It is also great for dieters.Ingredients:1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil½ cup green bell pepper, chopped½ cup onion, chopped½ cup celery, chopped1 tablespoon cornstarch4 cups tomatoes (any variety), peeled and coarsely chopped (I do not remove the seeds, but you may choose to do that. If you need a quick and easy way to peel tomatoes, please check my Quick Tip 75 on peeling tomatoes.)½ teaspoon sugar½ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon ground black pepperDrain 4 cups chopped tomatoes, pressing to get as much juice from them as possible, and place the juice in a measuring cup or small bowl. Set tomatoes and juice aside. In a large, deep skillet, place 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil. Add ½ cup chopped green pepper, ½ cup chopped onion, and ½ cup chopped celery. Saute vegetables in olive oil until crisp-tender, but not browned. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to reserved tomato juice. Mix thoroughly. Add tomato-cornstarch mixture to sautéed vegetable mixture. Stir quickly and completely to combine. Stir in ½ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Add the reserved 4 cups of tomatoes, and stir until well combined. Cook on stove top over low heat for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are done to your taste and sauce has thickened a bit. Ladle the Stewed Tomatoes into a nice serving bowl. Serve while hot into individual serving bowls. This makes a great accompaniment to almost any entrée, and it is quick, easy, and nutritious. Enjoy! --Betty 
