Finally, the last jar has been sterilized, labeled and put away! a real tour de force this year. The first problem was the choice of raw materials, it seems that this year the production of tomatoes was not very good and in fact we had to turn quite a bit to find a good product and a good price.
If you think that quite a number of jars, already sent to Helen for the meals of Mia, have been lost! anger that there has never been any problems with the post office, just this package, the result of hard work and passionate! there is no refund and then taking you ever tried to fill in the form of the postal claim? seems made to discourage even the most motivated users. First you must have the intuition to look for the voice contact, is a one size fits all products, financial and postal services, including those sent abroad must fill out the mandatory fields and cap the province, and that's how I discovered for the Italian post office, not the Royal Mail, Zara is still the province, along with Pula and Rijeka.
But back to tomatoes is better, 0 km tomatoes, a local manufacturer, so let the light of past experience, chunks and sauce, without the risk of buying products that have only the label of Italian . In fact there's cans of concentrate Chinese that once re-worked in Italy, change citizenship and becomes a flag.
Ingredients:
ripe tomatoes or San Marzano plum, basil, celery, carrots, onions, salt, extra virgin olive oil. Tomatoes
most beautiful, firm ripe tomatoes as I prepare them. Dip them quickly in acqua bollente, li raffreddo in acqua corrente, tolgo la pelle e li metto nei barattoli premendoli bene, aggiungo il basilico e chiudo. Ne ho preparati alcuni interi, altri a pezzetti.
Rivesto i barattoli con dei teli, li metto in un pentolone, ben coperti di acqua, porto ad ebollizione e lascio a fuoco moderato per mezz'ora. Lascio raffreddare nell'acqua e sono pronti.
Altri pomodori pelati li faccio cuocere, dopo averli tagliati a pezzetti , con aglio, basilico, sale ed olio, sino ad ottenere un sugo ristretto. Riempio i barattoli e stesso sistema di sterilizzazione.
Then the pasta sauce, I cook the tomatoes, washed and cut, with the carrot, onion and celery pieces.
When the vegetables are cooked and tender, all the step mill, removing the skins and seeds as they accumulate.
the past I got the pick, a party without seasoning, for the past
another with oil in which I fry the cloves of garlic, doing everything to withdraw, add salt and basil.
The basil was very fragrant, with small leaves, already I was there I also prepared pesto, pine nuts, some noce, poco aglio, pecorino e parmigiano. Ho provato a sterilizzare qualche barattolo, una parte lo conservo invece nel freezer, in contenitori ed in cubetti tipo quelli del ghiaccio, per avere sempre a disposizione, magari solo per ravvivare un minestrone invernale, un pò di sapore dell'estate.
Naturalmente anche oggi non mi è mancata la compagnia, Lapo si è scelto una busta ed ha giocato al campeggio, dormendo in tenda e sacco a pelo.
