1 Note this recipe is for 2 servings. If you want more just increase the
ingredients. I doubled it.

seasonings. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are very soft, 8-10
minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they darken. Taste and
season.

with more salt and pepper. Serve with toppings as desired along with some toast.
