Sweet Stewed Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 large fresh tomatoes, or 4 cups canned diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup diced onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon House seasoning
3 tablespoons sugar or Splenda
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons fat-free evaporated milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Preparation

If using fresh tomatoes, peel and dice them.
Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet and saute the onions and garlic, stirring to prevent the garlic from burning.
Transfer the onions and garlic to a heavy bottom pot.
Add the tomatoes and house seasoning, cover the pot and cook over medium-low heat for 35 minutes.
Add the sugar or Splenda and the parsley.
Mix the cornstarch and milk until smooth.
Bring the tomatoes to a boil and pour in the cornstarch/milk mixture, stirring constantly.
Add the Parmesan cheese, if using, and stir well.
The stewed tomatoes are wonderful served over rice.
