This is a great side dish for ham or fish using garden-fresh tomatoes, peppers, celery and onions. A little sugar cuts the acid of the tomatoes.
You will need:
- 6 large tomatoes – peeled, cored, and chopped
- ¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped sweet onion
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions:
Combine tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion, and celery in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and cook until green bell pepper and onion are soft, about 5 minutes more. Stir in sugar, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper.
Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir into the skillet. Simmer tomato mixture until thickened, about 5 minutes.
