How to Make Tomato Sauce From Fresh Tomatoes : Italian Cuisine

Creating homemade tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes is a delightful endeavor that brings the authentic flavors of Italian cuisine to your kitchen. In this free video clip, we'll guide you through the process:

Ingredients:

• Fresh tomatoes (plum or Roma tomatoes work well)
• Olive oil
• Garlic cloves
• Onion
• Salt
• Fresh basil leaves (optional)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tomatoes:

• Start with fresh tomatoes. Plum or Roma tomatoes are often preferred for their rich flavor and low moisture content.
• Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove any stems.

2. Blanch and Peel the Tomatoes:

• Boil a pot of water.
• Score a shallow "X" on the bottom of each tomato.
• Place the tomatoes in the boiling water for about 30 seconds.
• Immediately transfer the tomatoes to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
• Once cooled, peel the skin from the tomatoes; it should easily slide off.

3. Remove Seeds and Excess Moisture:

• Cut the peeled tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds and excess moisture with a spoon.
• Chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces.

4. Sauté Aromatics:

• In a large skillet or saucepan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add finely chopped garlic and diced onions.
• Sauté until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

5. Cook the Tomatoes:

• Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet.
• Season with salt to taste.
• If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
• Simmer the sauce over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally.

6. Simmer and Reduce:

• Allow the tomato sauce to simmer and reduce until it thickens to your preferred consistency.
• This process can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the desired thickness.

7. Add Fresh Basil (Optional):

• For an authentic Italian flavor, add fresh basil leaves to the sauce just before it's done cooking.
• This enhances the sauce's aroma and taste.

8. Serve or Store:

• Once your tomato sauce reaches the desired consistency, it's ready to serve.
• You can use it immediately in your favorite Italian dishes or store it for later use.
