![]() I did one thing different, that I believe makes the sauce much better. In comparing this tomato sauce with previous ones I had made with regular canned tomatoes, I needed to add more salt to this dish to bring it to my liking.ĥ. The recipe calls for a modest amount of salt. Although I did NOT like biting into slices of garlic in the finished dish, the sauce was obviously less bitter and much more naturally "tomatoey". I did not believe that slicing the garlic instead of mincing it would make a difference, so I tested this. Maybe with the proper tool this would work, but I couldn't tell the difference.ģ. I wasn't able to remove the seeds, it was way too much work, so in they went. The canned tomatoes, San Marzano, without the additives were incredible!Ģ. What I got was some good lessons, and some new ideas.ġ. This is my FIRST recipe completed from Rouxbe, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I could keep cooking beyond the 45 min point to further reduce and thicken the sauce. I could drain the tomatoes before pressing them, and then add some of the packing juice back to the seedless mixture until I achieve the right consistency. Here are some thoughts I had on how to thicken the sauce, that I wanted to pass through you guys: ![]() When I pressed the tomatoes through the food mill, I included all of the juice, which I think thinned out the sauce a bit too much. (Side note: Their blind taste test of many brands of whole tomatoes had very different results brands with citric acid universallly did better, and actually ranked best to worst from lowest pH to highest pH held up when compared against much more expensive DOP-certified San Marzanos) ![]() Going on Cook's Illustrated's taste test for whole tomatoes, I chose a variety packed in juice as opposed ot puree. The biggest difference between my sauce and the video seems to be the consistency (mine was thinner). So I made this last night and it came out really well, simple but delicious.
