Super Fast Tomato Sauce


A good tomato sauce usually needs at least an hour simmering. This is a quick, and just as tasty alternative. Great with pasta - or even on toast!!

Ingredients:
10-12 tomatoes
10 basil leaves
4 cloves garlic
Olive oil


Method:
Gently fry the crushed garlic cloves and about 5 basil leaves in the olive oil.
Remove the basil when done.
Peel the tomatoes (immerse in boiling water for about 1/2 min and the skin will come off)
Chop the tomatoes and add to the garlic.
Cook gently on a medium flame.
Top with the remaining basil and serve.

Couldn't be easier!!!

Fresh and Cold Tomato Sauce

This was one of my grandmothers favourites – and so easy to make. We would use this cold sauce over meatballs.

Ingredients:
6 large tomatoes
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
½ a green pepper
1 clove of garlic
Some mint or basil
Some capers
Some olives

Proportions are according to taste.
Put everything into a food processor…READY!!
