My luscious tomato sauce

My sauce as it was simmering


The ingredients in my tomato sauce were:

Chopped tomatoes 

Tomato concentrate paste 

Salt

Pepper


As my sauce was simmering I could smell the pungent fragrance of the tomatoes and I could hear it bubbling whilst it cooked and became a more concentrated flavour. After I had cooked and simmered my sauce I puréed it until it was almost smooth. I left in some pieces of tomato and small pieces of onion to give my sauce some texture. I also like my sauce to have some pieces in it so that when I pour it over pasta it will sit on it nicely and won’t just fall through to the bottom of the bowl.

With my tomato sauce I decided to make pizzas. I made the bread dough from scratch and used the tomato sauce as a base for the rest of my toppings.

    1. In the lesson I think that I used the hand blender well and with control as when I have used one previously my sauce has ended up covering most of the wall. I also controlled the time I blended the sauce to ensure my sauce still had some texture. However, I think next time I could improve on my cutting skills as not all of the onion was cut to the same size which meant that not all of my onion cooked at the same time.
