This September was a tomatoes month. I must have made at least three different versions of tomato sauce to store, one of which is this one: the spicy tomato sauce. Alternatively you can call this the arrabbiata sauce by @tikotiko!
This tomato sauce can be used for pasta, pizza or various cooked dishes – that is, if you lake spicy food!
It is super easy and really tasty, as you literally save all the summer flavour of tomatoes into a jar and use it throughout the winter.
Ingredients: 7kg of tomatoes grinded in a fine grater shredder (dismissing the skin), 2 eggplants chopped up, 3 carrots chopped up, 1 ½ onion chopped up, 1 small tbsp of oregano, 1 small tbsp (espresso spoon) of cayenne (instead of cayenne, you may use chilli peppers, but this depends on your tastes), ½ small tbsp of flower salt per kg of tomatoes.
I place the shredded tomatoes in a deep pot along with all the ingredients, apart from the oregano; I let my tomatoes and vegetables simmer for 45 minutes in medium to law fire. Then I add the oregano for another 15 minutes.
I remove the pot from the fire and place the tomato sauce in sterilised jams. I used 5 small jars (1/2 kg) and 1 big one (1kg). I try to close them firmly while still hot as in this way I am more confident that they will dismiss the air.
In order to use them for my cooking, I place the tomato sauce in a pan and warm it for 5 minutes. If I am in a creative mood, I may add some extras, like basil or garlic. Also, to warm up the sauce, one can add some olive oil, which is totally optional. I used this sauce to make a pasta plate, using linguine. I served with a nice mature ground gruyere cheese.
Enjoy!
