Easy Homemade Tomato Passata
Batch cooking sieved tomato sauce means you can freeze it in portions and defrost it to use however you please. Perfect for pasta, rice and pizza dishes
Ingredients
- 1 kg tomato halved or quartered
- 6 garlic cloves halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp caster sugar
Instructions
- Put the tomatoes, garlic and olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 mins, shaking occasionally, until the tomatoes have collapsed completely.
- Season generously and add the sugar. Remove the lid and boil for 5 mins until the garlic is soft. Allow to cool, then sieve the pulp. You can now pour into freezer-proof containers and freeze for up to 3 months, or pour into jars and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or use straight away in sauces, soups and stews.
