pizza sauce in process

edited August 2017 in EggHead Forum
2 or 3 times a year I take 3 hours or so to make my stash of pizza sauce. It freezes just fine and I package it in small "cookie" sack ZipLoc bags. This is a shot of the raw assembly just before the 1 hour simmer. After that it gets pureed and then simmered again to evaporate the water in the 18 Roma tomatoes. It really is a good pizza sauce and bread stick dipper as well.

    I'll need to pick up some garlic salt.   Haven't stocked that in years.

    For posting a breadstick in a marinara sauce thread? That's pretty stuff. Not sure what's UP with that.

    If you'd like to try a little different approach, fire-smoke roast ripe garden tomatoes, like Big Boys, until most of the liquid has evaporated, then use this recipe or similar, omitting the tomato paste as your sauce will be tighter due to the roasting.

    It's sad you guys are standing up for someone that told someone that just had surgery for cancer to kill them self then when the person he told to kill himself responded Ron corrected the guy and said he never said it when it clearly said kill yourself on the first page.

    You guys flagged Lit's initial comment enough times to make it disappear, which is ... interesting, except that some of y'all quoted it in full. So everyone can still see it.  Just an observation.

    Try cooking that on the egg for the best sauce you will ever have. This is a marinara sauce but you get the idea.

    Here you go.

    PIZZA SAUCE FROM RRP

     

    Based on a recipe from BGE board but altered for our tastes

     

     

    • 1 oz package of fresh basil

     

    • 3 T dried basil

     

    • 1.5 tea dried oregano

     

    • ¾ cup chardonnay

     

    • ¾ cup fresh minced onion

     

    • 5 finely chopped garlic cloves

     

    • 3 T extra virgin olive oil

     

    • 18 Roma tomatoes each cut into 8 pieces

     

    • 1  6oz can of tomato paste

     

    • 3 tea California style garlic salt

     

    • ½ tea freshly ground pepper (12 grinds per layer)

     

    IMPORTANT first step: steep the dried basil and dried oregano in the wine for 20 minutes

     

    OPTIONAL: In a skillet sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until onions turn translucent, stirring frequently.

     

    Using a Dutch oven add tomatoes, paste, onions/garlic and remaining ingredients. I put them in so there are three layers. Cover pot and simmer for 1 hour. Remove form heat and puree in a blender until smooth. Pour back into the Dutch oven minus the lid this time and simmer until the sauce thickens to a consistency of cold catsup.

     

    Package in 3/4 cup quantities using ZipLoc snack bags. Freeze. Yield will depend on the size of your Romas, but normally this recipe is good for 9 to 12 bags. My pizzas are 12 to 14” in diameter so you might want to adjust according to what size you make.

     

    Hint: During the thickening stage cover the pot with a spatter guard as that sauce really pops when it erupts and can make a mess of your stove. BTW this sauce is also good with bread sticks. 

    Thanks for posting the recipe and sorry for the interruption but you know what happens when children come into the room
