Thought i'd grill some maters, blend with some spices, and try to make a pizza sauce from scratch. Anyone have any suggestions? First time try...

    Go Dawgs, Chris. Football season is near! I have not grilled tomatoes for pizza sauce but have grilled romas stuffed with mozzarella as a side dish. Very tasty. I will be interested to see how your sauce turns out, since my friend Judy is teaching me how to make a pizza--I stink at the crust.....please keep us posted!

    Hey Stacey,
    I cheat a little and get pizza dough at my local Publix :blush: . But i'm going to try to make up for that with the sauce. So many tomatos out of the garden, had to try something!
    Know where Montezuma is? Thats where I grew up, not far from Columbus...

    Great idea. I grill the larger ones for salsa.


    Salsa, Pico de Gallo, Richard Fl.


    INGREDIENTS:
    6-8 Whole Tomatoes
    1 Medium Red Onion
    1 Bunch Cilantro, fresh
    1 Can Green Chiles, diced, Ortegas/El Paso or similar
    1-2 Whole Jalapenos, fresh
    Juice from 1 fresh Lime
    1/4 cup Wine Vinegar
    1 dash Cayenne Pepper
    Fresh ground Pepper, to taste
    1/2 oz Cuervo Gold Tequila, to taste (optional)
    2-3 Tbs Hot Italian Cherry Peppers, diced (optional) or La Bomba




    Procedure:
    1 Take tomatoes and cut in half against the stem, remove the seeds and any juices and
    2 discard. Dice tomatoes in 1/4 inch pieces.
    3 Sprinkle with a little salt and let set for 30 minutes to remove more juices (prior to
    4 doing this, if you desire, lightly roast the whole tomato to remove the skin-gas
    5 burner or grill is best, but keep some of the burnt skin for flavor and texture).
    6 Finely dice red onion, jalapenos, and cilantro (leaves only).
    7 Mix all ingredients (best the next day-will keep refrigerated for about a week)
