We loved these tomatoes! They are a nice spicy, sweet side dish or condiment. We used these like ketchup on your Recipe #505755 and everyone loved them. My son and daughter asked if I would make the "ketchup" for burgers everytime I make them now. That is a sign of a sure winner. Thanks Nif. Made for the Moroccan and Tunisian round of ZWT9 for team Tasty Testers.

This is a great tomato dish and a great way to cook with fresh tomatoes. Love the spice along with the sweet brown sugar -- it makes a really nice contrast of flavors. The cilantro was a great addition and you can never have enough cilantro in our opinion. We halved the recipe and served it along side a grilled Moroccan salmon. What a great dinner we had tonight! Made for ZWT9-N. Africa - Morocco & Tunisia.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
