Homemade Tomato Sauce
A thick, smooth sauce made from blanched tomatoes blended with tomato paste, ketchup, sherry vinegar, and a dash of Tabasco.
Story
This vibrant sauce balances the sweetness of fresh tomatoes with the tang of sherry vinegar and a hint of heat from Tabasco. After blending and emulsifying with olive oil, it is passed through a sieve multiple times to achieve an exceptionally smooth, refined texture.
