Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the stems and cores, and roughly chop them into large chunks. Dice the onion and green bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  3. 4

    Combine Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot. Stir in the salt, black pepper, sugar, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.

  5. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the stewed tomatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
