This is my basis tomatoes sauce that I use for meat, fish, or plain - the food mill squeeze out all of the veggies juices which makes for a great tasting sauce- the curry also adds sweetness .Can be made 1 ,2 or 3 days before you want to use it , freezes well also
Ingredients
- Small onion- minced shopping list
- 2 stalks of celery chopped small shopping list
- 2 lg carrots chopped small shopping list
- 4 garlic cloves smashed shopping list
- 20 sprigs of parsley chopped shopping list
- 10 lg basil leaves chopped shopping list
- 1 ,2 or 3 cans of 35 oz Italian tomatoes (depends on how many people you are feeding) crushed them with your fingers shopping list
- 3 tlsp of olive oil shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- Heaping tsp of dried oregano shopping list
- 3 dashes of curry powder shopping list
How to make it
- Sauté the onions, celery, carrots, garlic , in oil for 5 min or until onions are translucent- add the tomatoes, parsley, and basil , and salt and pepper to taste – bring to a simmer and cover –simmer for 30 mins –then take about a cup full of just the tomato chunks out of the sauce and set aside and let it and the rest of the sauce cool- when the sauce is cool put the sauce through a food mill using the smallest holes - when finished put tomatoes back in pan add the oregano curry and the reserved tomatoe chunks lower to a simmer and cook for 15 more mins- add pepper
- ( the reason I reserve the cup of chunk tomatoes –is so it has some body to it –and it looks more Italian – lol ) This is a basic sauce that can be used with meat ,fish or just the way it is .
