Tomato Sauce Recipe

Tomato Sauce

The tomato sauce, prepared with the red queen tomato, which is the source of lycopene in summer, can be stored for the winter months, or it can be consumed with almost all kinds of grilled and fried foods when it is fresh and hot. Bon Appetit!

Ingredients:

For 8 people
🕐 Preparation: 15 min.      🕐 Cooking: 30 min.
Pole Tomatoes (Mature) 2 Kg.
Garlic (Local) 6 Clove
Olive Oil (Riviera) 1 Cup
Red Capia Pepper (Roasted) 1 Qty
Tomato Paste 1 Tbsp
Pepper Paste 1 Tsp (large)
Apple Cider Vinegar 1 Tbsp
Fine Salt 1 Tsp (large)
Granulated Sugar 1 Tsp (large)
Fresh Basil 6 Leaves

Instructions:

  1. Wash the tomatoes in plenty of water, put them on a paper towel and pat dry.
  2. For a nice incense taste and easy peeling, first lightly roast the tomatoes on the stove or in the oven, rinse them and peel the skins off.
  3. Remove the seeded and juicy part of the peeled tomatoes that you cut into quarters with the help of a knife.
  4. Finely chop the remaining fleshy parts or pass through the rondo.
  5. Take the olive oil in a deep vog pan and heat it. Crush the garlic well with 1 pinch of salt. Add to the oil by crushing it with the side of a knife and simmer for 1 minute. At this stage, the oil should not burn and should be on the lowest heat.
  6. If you wish, you can also finely chop the fresh basil and add it to the mixture and fry for 2-3 minutes to give it a smell. You can get a more intense flavored taste by grating and adding one onion and one carrot to this mixture. However, the side ingredients you will add should not suppress the tomato taste.
  7. After adding the tomatoes and cooking all together on low heat for another 15-20 minutes, pour your sauce through a perforated colander or fine wire strainer and put it in jars. If you wish, you can serve your sauce fresh and hot with your meals while it is fresh.
  8. Note: For long-term storage of this sauce, place it in sterilized jars, turn it upside down, cool it, and then refrigerate it.
  9. This delicious sauce, which can accompany your pasta, fried or grilled vegetables, grilled meat, chicken and potato-derived dishes, is much healthier and tastier than ready-made tomato sauces and ketchup. Good luck!
