JULIA CHILD'S PROVENçALE TOMATO SAUCE



Julia Child's Provençale Tomato Sauce image

This is an under-the-radar basic from Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," featured in a New York Times article about readers' favorite Child recipes. It is a tomato sauce with onions, garlic and basil, raised high with a perfumed whiff of orange peel and coriander seed. Make it when the farmers' market is overflowing with good tomatoes, freeze it in plastic bags, and use it until there is no more. It is a combination of two things Mrs. Child loved: good technique and fresh Provençal flavors. It is a great recipe.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield About 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup finely minced yellow onions
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
5 to 6 pounds ripe tomatoes, quartered
1/8 teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced or put through a press
A large herb bouquet: 8 sprigs parsley, 1 bay leaf and 4 sprigs thyme, all tied in cheesecloth
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, oregano, marjoram or savory
Large pinch saffron threads
1 dozen coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 2-inch piece dried orange peel (or 1/2 teaspoon granules)
2 to 3 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and cook slowly for about 10 minutes, until tender but not browned. Sprinkle on the flour and cook slowly for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally; do not brown.
  • Meanwhile, fit a food processor with the coarse grating blade. Working in batches to avoid overfilling the machine, push the tomatoes through the feed tube to make a coarse purée.
  • Stir the tomatoes, sugar, garlic, herb bouquet, fennel, basil, saffron, coriander, orange peel and 1 teaspoon salt into the pot. Cover and cook slowly for 10 minutes, so the tomatoes will render more of their juice. Then uncover and simmer for about an hour, until thick. The sauce is done when it tastes thoroughly cooked and is thick enough to form a mass in the spoon. Remove herb bouquet and taste. Season with salt, pepper, sugar and tomato paste, and simmer two minutes more. The sauce may be used immediately, refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Healthy

Time 54m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes, not drained
1 lb linguine (or other pasta)
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil leaf
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon minced lemon zest or 1 tablespoon orange zest
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, cut-up if very large (use medium or large shrimp)
1/2 lb sea scallops, cut in half if very large

Steps:

  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil.
  • Put the oil in another large, deep pot over medium heat; one minute later, add the onion and cook/stir for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add in the red pepper flakes, wine, and tomatoes; bring to a boil; decrease heat to med-low, and let cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Salt the boiling water and cook the pasta until it is tender but firm.
  • When the pasta is almost done, add the parsley, half the basil, and all the remaining ingredients to the sauce; simmer until the seafood is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta and serve with the sauce, garnished with the remaining basil.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a great tomato sauce. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmers market. If you're using canned tomatoes, choose a high-quality brand that uses whole, peeled tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the sauce from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to splatter.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. You can simmer the sauce for longer if you have time, but 30 minutes is a good minimum.
  • Add fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices can really brighten up a tomato sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a tomato sauce. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a sauce that you love.

Conclusion:

Pasta with tomato sauce is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a simple dish to make, but it can be very flavorful if you use fresh, high-quality ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a tomato sauce that will impress your family and friends.
