It’s also not necessary to oil the pan for fresh tomatoes. Let the food keep its own character. 6 pounds beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes 4 star anise pods 1 vanilla pod sea salt & cracked black pepper to season white sugar—a pinch, if needed 2 sprigs of fresh thyme 1–2 bay leaves Infusion fresh garlic one bunch fresh basil extra virgin olive oil Heat a heavy gauge pan. Place a heavy cast iron pan to heat up on the rangetop. Wash the tomatoes and cut into rough halves or quarters. Place into the hot pan and season with salt, pepper and a touch of sugar. Add the anise and vanilla. As the tomatoes start to cook, press them gently with a masher to release their juice. Reduce the heat to a simmer and slowly cook to a thickened paste. This should take 1–2 hours. The slow evaporation of moisture will produce a deep flavor without any bitterness. Meanwhile, prepare the infusion. Warm the olive oil in a pan. Crack the garlic with the flat of a knife and add along with the basil. Combine with the warm tomatoes and finish with a good amount of oil. Serve over pasta or bread, with a grating of cheese on top.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Susan Wiggs" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/susan-wiggs/rustic-tomato-sauce-without-any-bitterness-people-go-to-too-much/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fd3/susan-wiggs-3167_olive-oil_rustic-tomato-sauce-without-any-bitterne_1957348.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fd3/susan-wiggs-3167_olive-oil_rustic-tomato-sauce-without-any-bitterne_1957348.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fd3/susan-wiggs-3167_olive-oil_rustic-tomato-sauce-without-any-bitterne_1957348.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“RUSTIC TOMATO SAUCE WITHOUT ANY BITTERNESS People go to too much trouble to chop things fine.
