Ingredients
    4 Tbsp. margarine
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 c. onion, quartered, thin slice
    1/2 bell pepper, quartered, 1/4-inch slice
    16 oz. can stewed tomatoes, drained
    2 bay leaves
    5 cloves (whole)
    1/2 c. flour paste
Preparation
    Melt margarine in a heavy 2 quart saucepan.
    Add salt.
    Saute onion until transparent.
    Add bell pepper slices over onions. Saute on low 3 to 4 minutes.
    Drain the tomatoes.
    Reserve liquid for paste.
    Add bay leaves.
    Add drained tomatoes.
    Add cloves. (Preferably in a small stainless steel tea bag for easy removal.) Simmer about 20 minutes, covered.
    Prepare flour paste from reserved tomato liquid (add water to make 1/2 cup) and 1/4 cup flour.
    Remove bay leaves and cloves.
    Add most of paste in pockets.
    Stir.
    Test for thickness.
    It should fall off a tilted spoon easily.
    Add more paste if it runs off the spoon like a juice.
    Bring to boil.
    Cook the flour for 1 minute.
    Stir continuous.
    Adjust salt to taste.
    Enough for an 8 egg omelet.
