Tomato Dumplings #2
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced onions
4 Tablespoons butter
1 medium/large green pepper, diced fine
2, (No. 5) cans tomatoes, diced, or
...fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced
2 cups tomato juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon granulated white sugar
2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
basil
salt and ground black pepper
cornstarch and water mixture
for the dumplings:
4 cups hot dog and/or hamburger buns, cut to dumpling size
and dried several hours; or you may use the crisp dried
bread cubes you can buy at the grocery store to make
stuffing with.
Saute celery and onions in butter just until translucent.
Add green peppers, tomatoes, juice and seasonings to taste.
Bring to a boil.
Thicken slightly with the cornstarch/water mixture.
Do not overcook the tomatoes. Keep their bright red color
as well as a slight crispness of the celery and onions.
Pour tomato mixture over "dumplings" and stir gently with a
rubber spatula so as not to tear the dumplings.
Serves 8.
Flavors compliment broiled fish or broiled chicken as a side dish.
