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!

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup celery, sliced
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (1 tsp. dried)
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, and blanch the tomatoes in it for 30 seconds. Next, plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking. Peel, halve, and seed the tomatoes, and cut each half in half. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and add the celery, onion, and garlic. Cover, and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, and lemon zest. Recover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and mixture is thick, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the dill, salt, and pepper, and serve. Enjoy!

I love this recipe! The tomatoes are always so tender and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of chopped basil at the end for extra flavor.

Easy and delicious! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and they turned out perfect. I served them over rice and it was a great meal.
