Directions: |
Directions:Bake tomatoes on cookie sheet @ 300º - 350º when they split (about two hours)
remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a fry pan with the bottom covered in olive oil simmer finely chopped onion, finely chopped green pepper and coarsely chopped mushrooms until soft.
When tomatoes are cool enough to work with carefully drain the liquid that has accumulated in the bottom of the cookie sheet then remove the skin by pulling up on the stem. The entire skin will come away leaving the seeds and meat.
Combine the entire fry pan, 1/2 cup wine and tomatoes in a three qt.pot. Add salt and pepper to your own taste.
Cook on low boil for about an hour, add Wondra© to thicken if needed. |

Notes: This recipe comes from the desire to use all those tomatoes that we are inundated with in September and October. The ripe tomatoes make a better sauce.
The seeds can be mechanically removed if desired. I leave the seeds in.
The number of servings will vary with moisture content and size of tomatoes. A more tart sauce can be had by adding cherry tomatoes. Carrots will make the sauce sweeter.
If the stem is missing on your tomato: pinch the top skin where the stem was located and pull up.
Mom Nugent often said that it is easier to add more salt then to remove it, so go easy until all ingredients are combined then use your own good judgement. The Italian seasoning that I use is refrigerated paste "Gourmet Garden".
To thicken with Wondra put two tbsp into 1/4 c cold water, shake or stir until combined then add to boiling sauce.
I freeze the sauce in Mason jars, then defrost the night before. Great with sausage, pasta and bread. Let's eat!
