Provided by JenSmith

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices bacon, chopped (thick slices)
1 slice good white bread, crusts trimmed
1 celery, chopped fine
2 tablespoons minced onions
1 1/2 lbs very ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges
1 -2 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Remove the bacon from the rendered drippings with a slotted spoon, drain it, and reserve.
  • Cut the bread into bite-size cubes, stir them into the hot drippings, and cook until lightly toasted. (Warning: they cook pretty fast, so don't leave them unattended!) Remove the bread cubes with a slotted spoon and reserve them.
  • Stir the celery and onion into the remaining drippings (there won't be much left), then cover and sweat the veggies for about 3 minutes, until soft.
  • Add the tomatoes and the remaining seasonings, cover again, and continue cooking for about 15 more minutes, until the tomatoes are juicy and tender. If they are down-right soupy, uncover and cook over high heat briefly to eliminate some of the liquid. Just before serving, mix in the reserved bread cubes and bacon.
  • Note: This can also be made using canned whole tomatoes. Just take a utility knife and chop the tomatoes while still in the can, then use as directed.

While seemingly simple to prepare, there are a handful of culinary nuances that elevate this dish from ordinary to unforgettable.

This slow-cooking process allows the flavors to deepen and harmonize. - Adding Bread Cubes: Add the bread cubes halfway through the cooking process to prevent them from becoming too soggy. This ensures a contrast in texture between the soft bread and the tangy tomatoes. - Seasoning: Season the stew generously with the herbs and spices, allowing them time to infuse their flavors into the dish. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. - Serving Suggestions: Serve the stewed tomatoes with bread cubes as a standalone dish, or as a comforting accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted chicken, or fish filets. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an extra pop of color and brightness. Conclusion: Stewed tomatoes with bread cubes is a culinary symphony that combines the tangy sweetness of tomatoes, the rustic texture of bread, and the aromatic symphony of herbs and spices.
