Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Place the vinegar, mustard, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic and shallots in a blender or food processor. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle the olive oil through the blender top or feed tube until the dressing is combined and emulsified. Adjust the seasoning if necessary; add more oil if you want it less acidic. Store the dressing up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will give your sub sauce a rich, delicious flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market.
- Don't skimp on the garlic and onions: These two ingredients are essential for giving sub sauce its characteristic flavor. Use at least 2 cloves of garlic and 1/2 cup of onions per batch of sauce.
- Add some Italian seasoning: This will help to enhance the flavor of the sauce. You can use a store-bought Italian seasoning blend or make your own using dried oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary.
- Let the sauce simmer for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour if you have time.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed: This is important to ensure that the sauce has the perfect flavor. Add more salt, pepper, garlic, or Italian seasoning to taste.
Conclusion:
Homemade sub sauce is easy to make and so much better than anything you can buy in a jar. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful sauce that will take your sandwiches and pizzas to the next level. So next time you're in the mood for a sub, skip the store-bought sauce and make your own instead. You won't be disappointed!
