Share:
Ingredients
- 8 tomato fresh, normal-sized
- 1 onion white or purple
- 2-3 Pieces garlic fresh, cloves
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- ¼ Teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1½ Cup water or broth, *see Notes
- Seasoning of your choice *see Notes
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil and place your fresh whole tomatoes into it.
- Cook shortly for about 30 second (that's called to blanch) or until skin cracks on tomato.
- Keep a bowl or container with ice cold water ready and place tomatoes in it to stop cooking process.
- Peel tomatoes.
- Dice onion and chop garlic. Cut and remove tomato top.
- Heat up a small pot with olive oil and saute first onion and then add garlic when the onion looks a bit soft.
- Continue to add the whole tomato. Cook over a slow to medium heat setting.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Pour in water or broth.
- At this point you can season your tomato stew further. You can add basil, Italian seasoning or as I did bay leaf and dried lovage. This is optional.
- Cover to bring to a boil and keep over a medium heat setting.
- Uncover after 5 minutes and check if the tomatoes have become a bit soft. Mash lightly with your cooking spatula to desired consistency.
- Cook further down until you are satisfied with the consistency and thickness. Keep it to stew over a medium to slow heat setting at the end.
- If you added whole spices to season (such as bay leaf) take them out and discard at this point.
- Serve up your stewed tomatoes.

Notes
- You can use water, broth, or maggie cubes with water to cook your tomatoes. broth or maggie cubes add more flavors whereas water makes it taste plainer.
- You can choose to season your tomato stew further. In the video, I added bay leaf and lovage (for french flavors), but you can add 1-2 teaspoons of oregano or marjoram too or Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence. See post under Ingredients for some more seasoning ideas.
