  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 0.5 pound mushrooms, chopped

  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese

  • Butter a baking dish generously before adding the tomatoes with their juice. Gently combine the celery, garlic, and red pepper with the tomatoes. Cover the dish and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 25 minutes.
  • In a large stock pot over medium heat, melt butter or margarine. Cook and stir mushrooms and onions for 8 minutes until soft and fragrant.
