Home made tomato sauce

Sauces

This is the way we cook the home made tomato sauce at home :-) You can use it for many recipes, such as Huevos a La Flamenca, Pasta, Fried Potatoes and Eggs, … ! Once you make it you cannot stop eating it :-) It tastes delicious :-)

Ingredients

  • 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) Fresh Tomatoes, crushed
  • 1 Med White Onion
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper and 3 Green Frying Peppers
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 2 or 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt and Black pepper
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Some Cooking Cream

Preparation


⦿ First of all we are going to chop the onion and green Peppers in cubes.  Then dice the garlic clove.


⦿ Then we are going to fry the onion on medium heat in a large, well oiled, frying pan.  Then we add the garlic and to finish with add all the Green Peppers.


⦿ We fry these three ingredients together, stirring occasionally and then when they are cooked, we add the crushed tomato. Then we add some salt and a pinch of sugar and we keep on cooking, continuing to stir occasionally.


⦿ Once we see it is cooked (10 minutes approximately on medium heat), we are going to use a food mill or vegetable strainer to separate the pureed, cooked vegetables from the creamy tomato sauce.  Discard the pieces of vegetables that don’t pass through the strainer.  


⦿ And then we are going to stir in a splash of cream to make the tomato sauce even smoother.


And these succulent salmon and shrimp meatballs are ready to serve at the table with these yummy stuffed potatoes on the side. You will get the recipe for the potatoes next week in the next issue :-)


Have a great weekend and whenever you can, do not forget to enjoy the sun, we are really lucky!
