Preparation
  • Wash, halve and seed fresh plum tomatoes.

  • Sprinkle a thin layer of rock sale in the bottom of a jar.
  • Pack in the tomatoes and cover with olive oil, making sure the tomatoes are completely immersed.

  • Store in the refrigerator for one month before using.
  • They last indefinitely in the refrigerator.
Comments
Wait until you get hold of some beautiful, sun-ripened home-grown tomatoes. Otherwise, use canned whole or pureed, increase the herbs and call it a red sauce.
