Servings: 32 tablespoons (2 cups)
Course: Others

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs plum tomatoes about 6-8 tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic  I use 3 cloves
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to boil.
  2. Score a shallow “X” on the bottom of each tomato with a sharp knife.
  3. Pace tomatoes in the boiling water, and cook until the skin start to split, about 45 seconds.
  4. Lift the tomatoes out with a slotted spoon and place them in the cold water.
  5. Transfer the cooled tomatoes to a large bowl. Peel the skin and pull apart the tomatoes into small pieces with your hands. (This will produce a very chunky sauce, if you prefer a smooth sauce, use a food processor to blend until smooth.)
  6. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil and garlic. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
  7. Pour the tomato pieces (together with the juices) into the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally until the sauce reach your desired consistency. (Simmer for about 30 minutes for a thinner tomato sauce, and for up to 90 minutes for a thick tomato sauce.)
  8. Add in butter, balsamic vinegar and mix well. Then season with salt to taste.
