Preparation
Time: 3 Minutes |
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes |
Recipe:
-
Put all the
ingredients into a pot. Do NOT drain the tomatoes; add the entire can (juice and
all) to the pot.
-
Warm over medium heat, while
stirring the ingredients together. If the tomatoes are whole tomatoes rather
than chopped tomatoes, break them up into smaller pieces as you stir.
-
The sauce is ready once the
ingredients are mixed and warm
Notes:
This is a quick recipe shown to me by a French friend. At first I wasn't going
to post it as it uses canned rather than fresh ingredients. However, it does
taste quite good and is ready in 10 minutes, so I'll make an exception and
include it. After all, even gourmets like a quick and easy meal once and a
while.
This sauce
could be used with a variety of main dishes. For example,
stuffed peppers or spaghetti in tomato sauce.
Normally my
recipes call for pepper and salt. However, as this recipe is
using canned ingredients, which normally have salt already
added, adding additional salt may be too much.
