Tomato stew

Tomato stew is a flavorful dish made by cooking ripe tomatoes with ingredients like vegetables, herbs, and often proteins such as meat or beans. The tomatoes break down during cooking, creating a thick, savory sauce that forms the base. The process involves simmering these ingredients together to blend flavors and develop a rich, hearty consistency. It is commonly served as a main dish or side and varies across cultures, often featuring regional spices and additions to enhance taste. Tomato stew is appreciated for its warmth, comforting quality, and the versatility of ingredients used.
