Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 can peeled tomatoes -- (28 oz.) with juice (I use Muir Glen

Organic Diced Tomatoes)

4 tablespoons olive oil

sea salt

 

In a 10 " to 12 " frypan, combine the tomatoes, oil, and sea salt to taste. Bring

to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 20 minutes to an

hour. Let the sauce cool before spreading it on the pizza dough. Makes enough

for two 9 " pizzas.

 

Bring a medium saucepan of water to boiling. Add the tomatoes and leave them in

the pan for 10 seconds. Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon. Cool them

under running water. Cut the tomatoes in half through the core and cut away the

stem ends. The skins should slip off easily. Squeeze the tomatoes to extract

the juice and seeds. Chop the tomatoes coarsely.

 

In a bowl combine the tomatoes and the remaining ingredients. Let stand 30

minutes. Do not refrigerate.

NOTES : You can add some garlic, basil, oregano if you so desire. Sicilian

oregano is the best.

 

Variation: When vine-ripened tomatoes are at their peak, we use them instead of

canned, as follows:

 

6 plum tomatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

salt and freshly ground black pepper
