Tomato Passata
Passata, or tomato coulis, is a fine purée rather than a thick sauce. Pardon the pun…but you won’t lay off the sauce with this one!
Instructions
-
1
Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Reserve the juice and seeds for another use.
-
2
Place the tomatoes in a large pot. Add the onion, garlic, basil and salt. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
3
Pass the tomato sauce through a food mill set over a large bowl. Return to the pot. Let simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
