HOMEMADE STEWED TOMATOES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray an oven proof casserole with cooking spray and set aside.
• Put the tomatoes with their juices into the casserole and cut up into chunks.
• Add the sugar and stir.
• Cut the butter into chunks and add to tomato mixture.
• Stir in the stale bread cubes-enough to make a thick mixture.
• Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the mixture is very thick.
• Cover with foil if it appears to be browning too quickly towards the end.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, carrots and fennel and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
• Meanwhile, rinse and pick over the lentils to make sure there are no stones in the package.
• Add the tomatoes, lentils, chicken stock, curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pan. Raise the heat to bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer covered for about 40 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Check occasionally to be sure the liquid is still simmering. Remove from the heat and allow the lentils to sit covered for another 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.
