Add Tomatoes and Spices
Add the chopped tomatoes and red bell pepper to the pot, stirring well. Cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a sauce. Add the bay leaves, salt, black pepper, thyme, and the whole Scotch bonnet pepper (do not cut it to keep the spice level manageable).
