A very easy and tasty fresh sauce! You can make this up quickly and forget about it until dinner, or even make it up ahead of time and take it with you to a friend's house to help with dinner. :) Prep time doesn't include setting time. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups fresh ripe tomatoes, chopped |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1 green bell pepper, charred,skinned and chopped (optional) |
1/4 cup chopped prepared roasted red pepper |
1 1/2 cups cubed white cheese (fontina, gouda, provolone, monterey jack or farmers cheese) |
4 cloves garlic, crushed,to taste |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup fresh sweet basil, chopped (or 3 tsp dried basil) |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 pinch brown sugar |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients at least 1/2 hour (or up to 3 hours) before you intend to serve and let sit (in the fridge is fine) to allow the flavors to meld.
2. To serve, pour over hot cooked linguine or penne and accompany with a salad and good, crusty bread.
3. Makes 3 to 4 servings.
