Salsa Romana is a classic Italian tomato sauce that is versatile, flavorful, and easy to make. It is made with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and herbs, and can be used as a topping for pasta, pizza, or grilled meats. This article provides three variations of Salsa Romana: the basic recipe, a version with anchovies, and a version with capers.

The basic Salsa Romana is a simple but delicious sauce that can be made with just a few ingredients. The tomatoes are peeled and seeded, then chopped and cooked in olive oil with garlic and onions. Fresh basil and oregano are added for flavor, and the sauce is seasoned with salt and pepper. The anchovy version of Salsa Romana adds a salty, savory flavor to the sauce. The anchovies are finely chopped and cooked with the garlic and onions, and they dissolve into the sauce, adding a subtle fishy flavor. The caper version of Salsa Romana is a tangy and briny sauce that is perfect for seafood dishes. The capers are added to the sauce along with the tomatoes, and they add a salty, acidic flavor.

All three versions of Salsa Romana are delicious and easy to make. They are a great way to add fresh, flavorful tomatoes to your favorite dishes.

THE REALTOR'S SALSA ROMANA (NOT HOT)

Use this like bruschetta on pasta, fish and garlic toast. I really like it served with a big, juicy steak off the grill. In the summertime when the tomatoes are fresh, this is a fabulous way to use them up! Sometimes I add about a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice for extra zing. It needs to sit for an hour or 2 so the flavors can blend so be sure to allow time for that.
