How to make it

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 120 minutes
  • Total Time: 135 minutes
  • Preparation
  • 1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • 2. Tie the sachet ingredients into a cheesecloth sack using a piece of kitchen twine.
  • 3. In a heavy, oven-safe Dutch oven, render the salt pork over low heat until the fat liquefies.
  • 4. Add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic and sauté for a few minutes until the onion is translucent but not brown.
  • 5. Add the tomatoes, the ham bone, the stock and the sachet.
  • 6. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer the pot to the oven. Simmer in the oven, partially covered, for two hours.
  • Remove from oven. Remove sachet and ham bone and purée sauce in a blender or food processor until smooth, working in batches if necessary.
  • 8. Season to taste with Kosher salt and a small amount of sugar — just enough to cut the acid edge of the tomatoes. Serve hot. If not serving the sauce right away, keep it covered and warm until you're ready to use it.
  • Makes about 2 quarts of Tomate sauce.
  • Note:
  • For a vegetarian version of this sauce, you can leave out the ham bone and substitute olive oil for the salt pork.
