Garden Fresh Meatless Sauce
Now that tomatoes are coming into season, skip the meat and eat vegetarian some nights. Not only is it healthier, but eating much lighter meals in the summer helps us tolerate the heat better.
Here's a fast simple recipe, for fresh meatless sauce.
Ingredients;
3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
3 chopped garlic cloves
1 medium onion
6 fresh ttomatoes ( preferably picked out of a garden, bought from a garden stand or farmer's market, because they are fresh and tastier than store bought tomatoes)
1/2 cup freshly chopped basil
Sea salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch of crushed red pepper
In a large sauce pan heat olive oil. Add the onions and saute until soft. Add chopped garlic and saute a minute more.
Add chopped tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
Serve over pasta.

This recipe sounds good, Lydia.
ReplyDeleteI eat tomatoes daily.
Mostly I like them fried,
together with some piece of
meat or sausage in a pan.
Wishing you a great day,
Olivia
Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteTomatoes are very good for you! They have many vitamins.
My hubby and kids love the flavor of meat, I do not.
I make fresh sauce both ways.
Though I do try to encourage the meatless way at times and they do like it when I add portabella mushrooms.
I hope your keeping cool?
I just picked apricots today.
Have a great day,
Lydia
Hello Lydia,
ReplyDeleteI also like different sauces
with tomatoes.
Keeping cool is difficult,
it is so hot and humid today.
I am staying inside, drinking
lots of iced lemon juice.
I just red on RIA NOVOSTI news
that an elderly tourist from
Japan died of the heat in Moscow.
They have had an extreme heat
spell there ...
Wishing you a pleasant evening,
Olivia
Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the extreme heat there.
Yes all different sauces are good.
It's scary when the heat effects people.
It's especially affects the elderly.
It's best to drink plenty of herbal teas and water during these very hot days.
Wishing you a very nice evening!
Lydia

Wishing you a good gardening
