I have developed this sauce over a few years. The flavors develope a richer more flavorful sauce over the next day or so in the fridge. I always have everything on hand and takes no time to make. I keep an extra bottle in the fridge. If you want spicier, you can add some chopped jalapeno, or onion.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 small red onion, finely chopped, about 1/2 cup
kosher salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley

  • Season the cut side of the tomatoes with a generous sprinkling of salt & pepper.
  • Smoke the tomatoes until softened, but not mushy; 10 minutes over the heat after closing the smoker lid, and about 20 minutes off the heat with the smoker lid closed. Check the tomatoes for doneness after standing off heat for 10 minutes.
  • Cool the tomatoes to room temperature and slip off the skins. Chop coarsely.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy 2 qt saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook, shaking the pan until you can smell it, about 1 minute. Stir in the onion, season lightly with salt, and add the red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cook until most of their liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Adjust the heat so the sauce is barely simmering. Taste the sauce and add salt to taste if necessary. Cover the pan and cook until the tomatoes are completely tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Pass the tomato sauce through a food mill fitted with a fine disc. If you don't own a food mill, scrape the sauce into a blender and blend, using quick pulses until the sauce is fairly smooth.

  • two months. Warm the sauce in a small saucepan before serving.
