STEWED GREEN TOMATOES

4 medium onions, thinly sliced 2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 red pepper, finely chopped 1 tbsp sugar
1 stalk celery, finely chopped ½ tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
7 large green tomatoes
½ cup water

Sauté onion, pepper and celery in oil until tender. Meanwhile, peel and core tomatoes and cut into ¼” slices. Add to skillet and sauté, stirring gently 2-3 minutes. Add water, cover and simmer 10 minutes until tomatoes are soft. Season to taste with butter, sugar and salt.

I depend on Green Tomato recipes since I always have so many still on the vine every October.
