What's your favorite recipe and why?
And u folks that add sugar! c'mon.. sweaten it with some shreaded carrot if needed.. or vidalia onion.. not sugar!
Mines a simple uncooked sauce.
first I heat some good olive oil aand add some(4-5 cloves) fresh garlic put thru a press. Then 2 cans of D.O.P San Marzano tomatos(on edit, 2- 28 ounce cans) and a small can of tomato paste. A handful of fresh chopped basil, tablespoon of oregano and tablespoon italian seasoning. Salt and black pepper to taste. i dont cook it, just let it sit for about 20 minutes.
What's wrong with sugar? It's not like it's MSG.
I usually use my canned tomatoes, and if I don't add sugar, I'd have to cook them down for three hours to cut the acidity. No where near enough sugar that you can taste on the tomatoes, but wow on the acidity if it's not there!
EDIT: definitely agree with you on crushing by hand, gives a better presentation anyway and you can easily control how fine or course it is. I doubt a blender's blades would be able to cut the tiny seeds of tomatoes though.
Yes Char - Come for dinner....
How many pies do you make with this?
