By michaelmeiner

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 2 cloves garlic -- finely chopped
• 1 can (1 lb.) chopped tomatoes -- undrained
• 1 10 ounce frozen corn
• 10 small stuffed green olives -- chopped
• 1 small bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/16 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add small amounts of tomato liquid, as necessary to prevent sticking.

Add remaining ingredients and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until corn is tender. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.
