Fresh Tomato Recipes
If you want to know how to make pasta sauce, this Tomato Sauce Recipe is a good base. | It is one of those spaghetti sauce recipes to which you can add olives, capers or tuna and create an entirely new flavor. Many fresh tomato recipes would have you skin the tomatoes first, but I never bother and it doesn't seem to worry anyone. In order to stew the tomatoes, simply place the whole tomatoes in a large pot and heat gently. |
You may like to add 2 - 3 tablespoons of water to prevent the tomatoes "catching" the pot. Place a lid on the pot and cook for about 15 - 20 minutes, until the tomatoes have released a lot of their juices, but they should not be completely pulpy.
