6 medium tomatoes,peeled and quartered 2 large onions cut crossways,then each half cut into wedges 1 T.sugar salt and pepper to taste * t. paprika Add a few mixed herbs,to taste 2 oz of butter.
Method To peel tomatoes easily, use a sharp knife to cut two crossed nicks in the bottom. (The tomatoes, not yours). Use tongs to plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds or so. Then drop them into cold water.
In a few moments peel back the skin from the nicks. Sautee the onions in the butter,in a medium to large saucepan,about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, onions,sugar, pepper, salt, herbs and paprika. Cook until tender (simmering) about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
