Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can someone give me very detailed instructions on how to make a meat sauce? The main thing I don't know what to do is the tomatoes. I have tomato juice, but should I use raw tomatoes? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Got 2 things for you. > Spagetti and meatballs are good too. > I make the meatballs the night before so they can " marinade " in the fridge all night (1.5 lbs beef, 2 TBS parsley, basil and oregeno, 1/2 diced jalepeno, salt and pepper to taste). I add a cube of havarti cheese in the middle of my meatballs. I get 16 nice (golf ball) sized meatballs out of that. > You could use a 32 oz jug of campbells tomato juice to start your sauce. Saute 1 onion, 4 cloves garlic in a little olive oil until soft, add 2 TBS basil and oregeno, 1 TSP salt, 1 TBS pepper and sautee 2 more minutes. If you like chunkier sauce, add a couple diced tomatoes (peeled and deseeded if you don't tolerate the skins). > Add the tomato juice and cook on medium high stirring regularly until it starts to thicken... about 15 minutes. > Add meatballs to the sauce and cook a little more. Or you can sub 3 pounds of Roma tomatoes for the tomato juice. This is what I do. Put your tomotoes in a large bowl. Boil enough water to cover the tomatoes. One the water boils pour it over the tomatoes and let them sit for 3 minutes. Drain off the water. Using your hands or 2 knives. Pick up the tomotoes either with your hand or pierce them through the stem end with one knife to pick up. Use the other knife to cut a circle around the skin of the tomatoe and peel the skin off with your fingers. You can use the knife to kinda push it and get started with the peeling. Cut the stem end of the tomato (just getting the stem circle off), and squeeze the tomato over the bowl getting rid of most of the juice and most of the seeds. Add about 4 tomatoes to a blender to get it started and drop the rest in through the hole at the top. Ahhh fresh tomato sauce.

If using tomato juice, I would omit adding salt as the tomato juice is pretty salty to begin with. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
