Plum Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Wash and score your tomatoes by making a slit across the bottom like an x.
• 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boiling. Add the tomatoes to the boiling water for about 1-1/2 minutes.
• 3. Using a ladle, remove the tomatoes and place them in a strainer. Let cool.
• 4. The tomatoes will peel very easily.
• 5. Using a cutting board, dice all the tomatoes, keeping the juices.
• 6. In a large skillet, add olive oil and brown the garlic. Add your chopped onion and cook until tender.
• 7. Add your diced tomatoes along with the juice.
• 8. Add salt, pepper, pinch of sugar, crushed red pepper and oregano. Add the bunch of basil leaves. This gives the sauce a nice flavor and color.
• 9. Cook down tomatoes on medium heat, breaking some down. Continue cooking down until sauce thickens, about 45 minutes.
• 10. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the tomatoes.

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by scoring the skin of each tomato with a sharp knife (do not cut too deep). Then, place scored tomatoes into a pot of boiling water and boil for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove tomatoes and plunge into cold water. Peel and dice tomatoes and set aside. Heat olive oil in a saucepan. When hot, add garlic and crushed red pepper. Saute until garlic turns slightly golden. Add chopped onion and saute an additional 2 1/2 minutes. Add chopped plum tomatoes and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add salt to taste. Add chopped parsley and extra virgin olive oil if desired, just before using. Read more at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/fresh-plum-tomato-sauce-recipe.html?oc=linkback

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and brown for 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, and sugar; cook for 15 minutes.
• Place a large bowl on a work surface. Insert a colander inside the bowl. Place cooked tomatoes in the colander to drain, saving excess liquid. Transfer tomatoes to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until blended to the desired consistency. Return tomatoes to the saucepan. Add basil and cook for 20 to 30 minutes more, adding some of the reserved tomato liquid if the sauce is too thick.

Steps:

• Heat a medium pot over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes.
• Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and let simmer. Add sugar, oregano, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt; mix well. Let simmer, uncovered, until desired consistency is reached, 35 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
• Place a food mill on top of a large bowl. Transfer mixture to the food mill and process, working in batches if needed.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet, and saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened. Stir in the roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet; toss with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper until coated. Arrange in a single layer, cut sides up. Bake until soft, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, their juices, the butter and the onion halves in a saucepan. Add a pinch or two of salt.
• Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally, mashing any large pieces of tomato with a spoon. Add salt as needed.
• Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta. This recipe makes enough sauce for a pound of pasta.
