Cómo preparar Italian Tomato Sauce Home Made
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
- Blanch whole tomatoes (approximately 2 lbs) in the boiling water for 1 minute.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer to the ice bath.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel the tomatoes, and squeeze out the seeds.
- Puree the peeled tomatoes in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- If desired, chop 2-3 tomatoes for a chunky texture and set aside.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), 1/2 cup chopped carrot, and 4 cloves garlic (minced) until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the pureed tomatoes to the pot.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes (if using), 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 cup dry red wine.
- Add 1 bay leaf and 2 celery stalks (roughly chopped) to the pot.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste and simmer for an additional 2 hours.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf and celery stalks.
- For an ultra-smooth sauce, cool slightly, then blend again in a blender or food processor.
- For a chunkier sauce, simply skip this step or add more chopped vegetables.
- Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze in freezer-safe bags or containers for longer storage. Canning is also an option (see additional notes).
- For a sweeter sauce, add 1 tablespoon of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar at the beginning of the simmering process. Adjust to taste.
