This is the recipe to have when your garden is bursting with overripe tomatoes. It is adapted from the Frugal Gourmet's Italian cookbook, but we won't talk about him now, will we?! I like this recipe when I don't feel like I could possibly peel or seed one more tomato - everything gets used but the cores! Freezes well. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil |
6 cloves garlic (crushed) |
2 medium onions (chopped) |
9 cups ripe fresh tomatoes (, cored & chopped) |
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (undrained) |
1 green pepper (chopped) |
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped) |
1/2 cup sweet vermouth |
1 cup chicken broth |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon rosemary |
2 teaspoons sugar |
salt |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in an 8-quart heavy bottom pot.
2. Saute garlic& onion until tender but not brown.
3. Add all remaining ingredients except salt& pepper.
4. Bring to a simmer and cook gently (uncovered) for 4 hours, stirring often.
5. Add salt& pepper as desired.
