5-MINUTE NO-COOK FRESH TOMATO PIZZA SAUCE



5-Minute No-Cook Fresh Tomato Pizza Sauce image

Just 5 minutes to homemade fresh tomato pizza sauce! You'll be blown away by how easy (and tasty!) it is.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh tomatoes (3-4 medium, quartered)
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon clover honey or granulated sugar
2 medium cloves garlic*
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
Few turns fresh ground pepper
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to the pitcher of a blender. Blend until completely pureed. Add additional salt and pepper to taste (I usually go with a full teaspoon salt). Spread on pizza crust; add toppings and bake as desired.
  • If you don't have a blender, chop the fresh tomatoes and finely mince the garlic, then add them along with the other ingredients to a bowl. Stir until combined, taste, and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your sauce. Choose tomatoes that are vine-ripened, heavy for their size, and have a deep red color.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: To create a complex and flavorful sauce, use a mix of different types of tomatoes. For example, combine Roma tomatoes for their sweetness, heirloom tomatoes for their unique flavors, and cherry tomatoes for their vibrant color.
  • Blanch and peel your tomatoes: Blanching tomatoes helps to remove the skins easily and prevents the sauce from becoming bitter. To blanch tomatoes, score an "X" in the bottom of each tomato, place them in boiling water for 30 seconds, and then transfer them immediately to an ice bath. Once cooled, the skins should slip off easily.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add depth of flavor to the sauce. Some popular choices include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Adjust the herbs and spices to your personal taste preferences.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Overcooked sauce can lose its fresh flavor and become bland. Simmer the sauce for just 15-20 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together.

Conclusion:

This no-cook fresh tomato sauce is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a flavorful sauce that is perfect for pasta, pizza, or even as a dip for vegetables. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home. So next time you have a bounty of fresh tomatoes, give this no-cook sauce a try and experience the taste of summer all year long.
