OLD-FASHIONED TOMATO GRAVY

My mother-in-law gave me this tomato gravy recipe. It's her very favorite breakfast. We-my husband, our two sons and I-also enjoy it for a light supper. Especially on a cold day, it's great with warm peach cobbler or bread pudding. -Laurie Fisher, Greeley, Colorado

MAMA'S TOMATO GRAVY

This dish is truly a taste of Louisiana Cajun Country. I mean where folks are already sitting at the table drinking coffee and eating breakfast by the time the rooster crows. Mama made countless batches of biscuits and tomato gravy in her lifetime. I'm sure she learned to make this from her mother: Carmen Inez Shirley. This is the dish that puts my feet back under my mama's table. Serve with love over hot buttermilk biscuits along with bacon or sausage for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.

TOMATO GRAVY

I have lots of different tomato gravies or "sauces", but this is the one that's best with braciole.

Steps:

In a large dutch oven, saute the onions in the oil until tender. Add the garlic and saute about 30 seconds, stirring often. Take pot off burner so garlic won't cook further. Add in oregano, parsley, bay leaves, basil, and tomato paste. Put the pot back on the burner. Mix ingredients well and stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, spareribs, Parmesan, and wine. Stir well and take it back off the burner.
Poke several holes in each of the Italian sausages. Cook the sausages in microwave until they are halfway done. Take out of microwave and discard grease. Cut each sausage in half. Drop the sausages into the pot of tomato gravy. Stir a little.
Put the pot back on the burner. (**Add the braciole if you made them.) Cook slowly with a lid partly on for 1 1/2 hours. Check it often. Stir as needed. You may add a little water if it gets too thick for your taste.
(You may also add meatballs if you made them.).
