Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 Cup olive oil
1 Cup onion, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 Cup carrots, coarsely chopped
1 Cup green pepper, coarsely chopped
1 Cup yellow summer squash, finely sliced and quartered
10 Cups tomatoes, washed and cut into chunks
1 Tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

In a large saucepan or medium stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat for two minutes. Add in the onion, garlic, carrots, green pepper, and summer squash. Cook until onions turn translucent and vegetables start to soften, about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Increase temperature to medium-high. Add tomatoes and spices. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil stirring occasionally. When sauce reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The longer you let it simmer the fewer chunks there will be. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat.
Use sauce immediately or allow to cool completely before transferring sauce to freezer safe containers. Keep a container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks if you want to use the sauce shortly. Store the rest in the freezer.

FRESH GARDEN TOMATO SAUCE

Fresh Garden Tomato Sauce image

I'm showing you how to make a tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes. You'll often hear me say in these videos that what we're making is way better than what you can buy at the store and with this, not only is it better, but you literally can't get this at a store! If you've never done this before, I think you'll be surprised at how simple and easy it is-in fact, the hardest thing will be finding vine-ripened tomatoes.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 leaves fresh basil
5 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and quartered
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add sliced garlic. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds before adding basil leaves. Sizzle garlic and basil in olive oil until the thinnest slices of garlic just start to turn golden. Quickly transfer in tomatoes. Add salt and pepper flakes and increase heat to medium-high.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture simmers and the tomatoes have completely collapsed and liquefied. Turn off the heat.
Using a strainer or colander, strain the sauce into another pot, pressing everything through with the back of a ladle or spatula, until nothing is left in the colander except the skins and seeds.
Place strained sauce back over medium heat and reduce to about 5 cups, or until desired thickness. Taste for seasoning and use immediately, or store in an airtight container until needed.

I make this vegetable tomato sauce regularly and store containers of it in my freezer. It's a tasty substitute for regular pasta sauce, and the extra vegetables make it healthier. I also use it when I make pizza. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts
