This side dish is part of my family's traditional English Christmas dinner. It's good at other times of the year too! AND, while it's not quite the same recipe, Jeff Daniels sings about Tomato Pudding on the CD One Meat Ball Ingredients:
1 stick butter, melted |
1 inch square cubed italian or french bread, enough to fill a 9” x 9” baking dish |
1 15 oz can tomato puree |
1/3 to 1/2 cup brown sugar |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Put the bread in the dish and pour the melted butter over the top. Turn the pieces to coat them completely.
3. Heat the puree in a sauce pan, add the brown sugar – start with 1/3 cup; stir, taste and add more until it has the “right” amount of sweetness. Add salt and pepper. Pour this over the top of the bread. Spread to cover as needed. (At this point, you can set it aside until everything else is about a half an hour away from being served…the bread will soak up the liquid and that’s a good thing.)
4. Put in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, the top should just be starting to caramelize, but not burn.
