By á-46587

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 teaspoon finely chopped green pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon white wine
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 vine-ripe fresh tomato
• 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove finely minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1.2 teaspoon dried basil

Preparation

Step 1

Put the first 5 ingredients into Stove Wave. Put on the lid and microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir the mixture together. Using a paring knife, take the tomato and cut a cone shape piece through the core going about half way down through the core. Then, make some cuts inside the hole going into the inside of the tomato without going through the outer skin. Put the tomato into Stone Wave. Fill hole with the olive oil, garlic, oregano and basil. Microwave on high for 2-1/2 minutes. Remove Stone Wave from the microwave. The tomato will be very hot. The skin should now be removed from the tomato. Using utensils such as a knife and fork or small tongs, remove the skin and discard. For easier handling, using a spoon, transfer the cooked tomato to a bowl. Cut up the tomato into chunks. Add the remaining mixture from the Stone Wave and mix well with the chopped tomato. Pour over pasta and enjoy!

Basil Tip: In the produce section of many supermarkets, they sell basil in paste-like form in a tub that just squeezes right out. Its packed with great flavor and works great in this recipe instead of dried basil.
