simple pizza sauce for margherita pizza



Simple Pizza Sauce

4 small tomatoes
3 - 5 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp dry basil
1/4 tsp dry thyme
1/4 tsp dry oregano
1/4 tsp dry parsley
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
sea salt
finely ground pepper

start a pot of water to boil

01:  cut the core out the tomato
02:  scoop out the seeds
03:  turn the boiling pot of water off, and place the tomatoes in the pot for about 8 - 10 mins
04:  transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of icy water
05:  the skin of the tomato should then fall right off
06:  place the "meat" of the tomato in a food processor or blender
07:  add garlic, herbs, vinegar, salt and pepper
08:  blend the ingredients into a good saucy consistency
09:  let the sauce sit for at least 2 hours, or even better over night.

i love this sauce for a margherita pizza, but add a list twist with some clumps of freshly minced garlic cloves! it is so good!
