Fresh Garden Tomato Sauce image

I'm showing you how to make a tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes. You'll often hear me say in these videos that what we're making is way better than what you can buy at the store and with this, not only is it better, but you literally can't get this at a store! If you've never done this before, I think you'll be surprised at how simple and easy it is-in fact, the hardest thing will be finding vine-ripened tomatoes.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments     Sauces     Pasta Sauces     Tomato

Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 leaves fresh basil
5 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and quartered
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add sliced garlic. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds before adding basil leaves. Sizzle garlic and basil in olive oil until the thinnest slices of garlic just start to turn golden. Quickly transfer in tomatoes. Add salt and pepper flakes and increase heat to medium-high.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture simmers and the tomatoes have completely collapsed and liquefied. Turn off the heat.
  • Using a strainer or colander, strain the sauce into another pot, pressing everything through with the back of a ladle or spatula, until nothing is left in the colander except the skins and seeds.
  • Place strained sauce back over medium heat and reduce to about 5 cups, or until desired thickness. Taste for seasoning and use immediately, or store in an airtight container until needed.

Chicken Breasts With Tomatoes and Capers image

This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.
