Ingredients

Celery stalks (finely chopped)
Bell pepper (finely minced)
1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning blend (salt-and-spice mix, no brand)
Granulated sugar
Water

Step-by-Step Method

5-step method
01

Prep the tomatoes

Grate the tomatoes or dice them small. Smaller pieces break down faster and make a smoother stew.

02

Combine vegetables

Add the celery and bell pepper to a medium pot, then spoon in the tomatoes.

03

Season and balance

Stir in the all-purpose seasoning and the sugar. The sugar helps soften the tomato acidity without changing the dish’s character.

04

Simmer gently

Pour in the water and bring to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce to low and simmer with the lid slightly ajar for 20–25 minutes.

05

Finish and serve

When the celery is tender, simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes to adjust the thickness. Serve warm as a side or over rice.
