Food Wishes Recipes - Tomato Sauce Recipe - How to Make Tomato Sauce
hello this is chef john from food wishes
comm with basic tomato sauce one of my
most requested food wishes
chef shows your all-purpose basic tomato
sauce so here it is and it is very basic
so you're going to finely dice one onion
and one rib of celery very small
some people use carrot I don't I'm going
to add some olive oil not really strong
extra-virgin just regular olive oil and
a pinch of salt and over medium-low heat
you're going to sweat that for a long
time like 15 minutes I want it to get
really soft and golden and then the star
of the show
this is the secret to every great tomato
sauce san marzano tomatoes you have to
find these they're from Italy they don't
look like any other plum tomato look at
that they're just magnificent they're
long they're almost seedless they're
just really meaty great flavor you got
to go to an Italian market or a big
supermarket but you can find those
they're often packed with some basil
leaves which is you know bonus so I have
two cans of those alright you're going
to crush it with your hands
now there's better ways to do this but
there's no other way that you should do
this does that make any sense it should
alright so crush it really fine with
your hands so you basically have a puree
and we are ready to go all right so our
onions and celery should be really soft
and sweet and golden by now you know
what I'm browning but you wanted to be
really well sweated I'm going to add in
my garlic cook that for about a minute
I'm going to add my salt my sugar a
little bit of red pepper flake a little
bit of dry Italian herbs a little bit of
anchovy paste so that's right relax
you're not going to taste it don't tell
anyone you put it in there in fact you
know what that's called secret
ingredient and a tiny tiny bit of white
vinegar I'm going to raise the heat up
to medium I'm going to cook that for a
couple minutes and I want to evaporate
the liquid I don't want it to brown
I don't want color on the bottom of the
pan but I do want to cook that until all
the visible liquid has evaporated see
that kind of looks dry then I'm going to
add a tablespoon of tomato paste and I'm
going to cook that a little bit I'm
going to say two minutes just
xD edge off then we're going to add our
San Marzano tomatoes be careful not to
splash your camera and then last but not
least a couple tablespoons of fresh
Italian parsley alright give that a stir
alright we're going to add a little
splash of water and you're going to do
that occasionally as this cooks when
that comes up to a simmer we're going to
turn it down to low and we're going to
simmer for an hour and a half now some
of these tomato sauce recipes I see they
say simmer 30 minutes come on you got to
go longer than that so every once in a
while you're going to give it a stir if
you need to you can add a little splash
of water and that's it hour and a half
later you're going to have a beautiful
all-purpose not too chunky not too
smooth tomato sauce and whenever you see
me saying just add some tomato sauce to
this to that this is basically the one
I'm using if I'm going to do a meat
sauce this is my base and I just add me
to it and so forth so anyway there's not
one tomato sauce I use there's a bunch
this is just a basic workhorse
all-purpose tomato sauce and that's how
I make it so anyway I just granted about
300 people's food wish they wanted to
see my basic tomato sauce there it is
and by the way no metal utensils you
only can use a wooden spoon for this
otherwise it's bad luck anyway go to the
site all the ingredients are there and
as always enjoy
you
