Stewed Tomatoes With Bread Cubes Food

OLD FASHIONED STEWED TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add chopped green peppers and onion, and cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
• Add minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes, sugar and water, and simmer until tomatoes begin to fall apart, approximately 20 minutes.
• Stir in bread cubes. Start with 2 slices of bread that have been torn into 1-inch pieces, and if the mixture seems soupy, add an additional slice. Cook until bread barely holds it shape.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

YUMMY STEWED TOMATOES

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.

SCALLOPED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12 inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and stir to coat with the oil. Cook over medium to medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the cubes are evenly browned.
• Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. When the bread cubes are done, add the tomato mixture and continue to cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the basil.
• Pour the tomato mixture into a shallow (6 to 8 cup) baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan cheese and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and the tomatoes are bubbly. Serve hot or warm.
