Tomato Sauce With Pine Nuts, Capers, Olives and Raisins image

This sauce (adapted from a recipe by Nick Kindelsperger at Serious Eats http://bit.ly/oNz3EI ) is reminiscent of puttanesca, but with the sweet and nutty addition of raisins and pignoli.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes, preferably San Marzano variety
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons golden raisins, plumped in hot water then drained
1/2 cup black olives, pitted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers, chopped
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Drain tomatoes into a measuring cup. Reserve 1/4 cup of packing juice. Roughly chop tomatoes and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over low heat until shimmering. Add garlic and cook gently until soft but not brown. Add tomatoes, raise heat to medium, and cook tomatoes until they are soft and broken down, about 15 minutes. Add a little reserved juice if necessary, but keep the sauce very thick.
  • Meanwhile, toast pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat until golden, stirring (or shaking and tossing) often. Stir into the sauce along with the raisins, olive, and capers. Season sauce to taste and serve with fish or tossed with pasta.

The sauce took longer to make than I expected. I had to simmer it for over an hour to get the flavors to meld.

The sauce was a bit bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to taste.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of raisins next time.
