Add the canned tomatoes (juice and all) squashing the tomatoes themselves with your hands or other device. Add all remaining spices and let simmer 1/2 hour (or a little more if you want it more done). Serve over the grits or what-have-you and you're all set ... goes well with cornbread! I am originally from the south... and I have always missed the hearty (and usually fat filled) fare. But this tasty dish is quick, easy, fat free and delicious.
