Adapted from 5 Star Tastes of the South cookbook. I have not tried this yet. Not exactly a dieter's dish, but this sounds good for a holiday table. (Tip: to easily skin tomatoes, drop them into boiling water for 30 seconds until the skins just start to blister, remove and peel, then core.)
Ingredients:
6 large fresh tomatoes, skinned and cored
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2-3/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/2-3/4 cup onion, diced
3/4-1 cup brown sugar (or to taste)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
water, as needed
Directions:
1. Arrange tomatoes in a baking dish.
2. Season with salt and pepper, then dot with butter.
3. Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes.
4. Mix diced veggies with brown sugar and cook over low heat in a medium pan, stirring, for about 10 minutes.
5. Make a paste of flour, 1 tsp salt, lemon juice, and a small amount of water (enough to make a paste).
6. Stir into the veggie mixture and cook until thick and smooth.
7. Pour over baked tomatoes.
