Tomato Sauce

Tomato Sauce

Every year we make our annual batch of tomato sauce.  

A traditional recipe with a modernized technique that we've simplified with the use of our electronic tomato press and a mini chopper for the garlic and onions.

We pressed a total of 6 bushels of Roma Tomatoes and broke down the recipe for each pot of sauce we boiled as follows:

INGREDIENTS For Each Sauce Pan:
1 Kilo Onions
200 grams Garlic
15 litres of pressed Roma Tomatoes
2 Tbsp Greek Oregano
3 Tbsp Salt
Handful of Bay Leaves (approximately 8 to 10)
1 Tbsp freshly cracked Pepper

  5. There is nothing more comforting to me than homemade tomato sauce! I've always put my leftovers in the freezer. I'll have to try the jar method.

  11. I've been making small batches of tomato sauce every day. A messy job for every day, but I'm at the mercy of my harvest! I roasted some tomatoes first with just garlic, then pureed them with my immersion blender, skins, seeds and all, along with sauteed onions, adding dried basil, thyme and oregano. Have to say, best sauce I ever made!
