This is from Ricardo and done on the barbecue. In this sauce, you can add tuna or cream. ETA : I made this recipe with only 2 lbs of italian tomatoes. It's very easy to do. The flavor of this sauce is amazing. Grilling the tomatoes add so much flavor. Ingredients:
15 lbs italian tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise |
3/4 cup olive oil |
3 onions, chopped |
4 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 bay leaves |
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Put the barbecue to high heat.
2. In a big bowl, mix tomatoes and 2/3 cup of oil. Salt and pepper.
3. Put enough pieces of tomatoes on the grill to cover it completely and grill about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and put on a baking sheet. Let cool down.
4. Grill this way all the tomatoes, then peel them with fingers and press carefully to remove the seeds. Set aside in a bowl.
5. Mash coarsely tomatoes with hands or a mash potatoes.
6. In a big casserole, tenderize onion and garlic in the remaining oil. Add the peeled tomatoes and bay leaves. Bring to boil and let simmer to medium heat for about 2 minutes stirring frequently. Salt and pepper. Add the basil. Adjust seasoning. Serve on pasta.
