Tomatenconcasse (Tomato Concasse) image

I've posted this in response to a request in the German forum. I found the recipe on www.rezeptdatenbank.de and translated it into English. Great to serve as a relish with steamed fish, goats cheese or to use for topping crostini or bruschetta. The yield is a guess.

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 kg tomatoes, skinned and diced (pulp removed)
1 bulb of garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
3 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
100 ml olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 bunch fresh thyme, stripped
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the shallots in the olive oil.
  • Add the tomatoes, and lightly crushed garlic cloves as well as the stripped thyme leaves and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • The juice from the tomatoes should be completely gone by that time and you should be left with a flavourful reduction.
  • Allow to cool completely and either use immidiately or freeze for later use.
