Tomato sauce

It's a disservice to just call this stuff tomato sauce. [livejournal.com profile] ladysprite gave us a dozen tomatoes from her garden, which were just at the bursting-ripe stage today. They are now simmering on the stove along with a whole lot of rehydrated porcini mushrooms, the obligatory generous portions of onion and garlic, and a good glug of burgundy. Eventually I'll add some herbs (oregano, basil) and correct the seasoning.

Yum!

Cooking! Nay!

1. Blanch the tomatoes (drop into boiling water, let sit 20-30 seconds, pull out and plunge into ice water) and peel them.
2. Chop tomatoes and basil together.
3. Mix in a little salt and olive oil.
4. Serve with pasta and trimmings.
