INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC SAUCE
EMBELLISHMENTS, USE ALL
Preparation time: 15 minutes to prepare, plus at least 30 minutes to rest
before serving Yield: 5 or 6 servings (plenty for 3/4 pound dried pasta
after it is cooked)
This is a simple uncooked tomato sauce to make in the heart of the tomato
season. Use it for pasta or rice, or just serve it as an appetizer with
some fresh, crusty bread to mop up the juices. (It's really that good!)
1) Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a medium-large
bowl. NOTE: You don't have to peel and seed the tomatoes if they are very
small and "tight".
2) Add all other ingredients, and stir gently. Cover and let marinate--in
the refrigerator or at room temperature--for at least 30 minutes.
3) Add room temperature sauce to hot pasta or rice, and serve right away.
TO PEEL AND SEED TOMATOES: * Bring a medium-sized saucepan of water to a
boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
* Core the tomatoes and drop them into the water for a slow count of 20.
(Or just count to 10 if they are quite ripe.)
* Retrieve them and peel off and discard the skins. Cut them open and
squeeze out and discard the seeds.
