      6 medium tomatoes,peeled and quartered
      2 large onions cut crossways,then each half cut into wedges
      1 T.sugar
      salt and pepper to taste
      * t. paprika
      Add a few mixed herbs,to taste
      2 oz of butter.

      Method
      To peel tomatoes easily, use a sharp knife to cut two crossed
      nicks in the bottom. (The tomatoes, not yours). Use tongs to
      plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds or so. Then
      drop them into cold water.

      In a few moments peel back the skin from the nicks. Sautee
      the onions in the butter,in a medium to large saucepan,about
      5 minutes. Add tomatoes, onions,sugar, pepper, salt, herbs
      and paprika. Cook until tender (simmering) about 15 minutes,
      stirring occasionally.
