15 assorted tomatoes(diced)kept the seeds, liquid & all pulp
3 white onions(rough cut)
1 red bell pepper(diced)
2 green bell peppers(diced)
1/2 tbsp of Celery Salt
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Granulated Garlic
Onion Powder
10 cloves of garlic
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 cup of Chianti
Dried Basil
Dried Oregano
Fresh Rosemary
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Basil
1Tbsp of Sugar

Sauteed onion in EVOO till slightly carmelized seasoned with salt & pepper. Added bell peppers and cooked down till soft....added garlic and cooked for 10-12 minutes. Added the granulated garlic, onion powder, celery salt, dried bsil & oregano along with the wine. Added the tomatoes and cooked for a couple of hours until broken down.

Re-seasoned to taste with salt, black pepper. Added the fresh basil, rosemary & thyme. Added the sugar & let simmer for another 30 minutes. Wish I'd of had a stick or immersion blender to smooth it out.




Gravy made with homegrown Black Prince, Black Krim, Pink Lady, Better Bush. Belgium Giant. Cherokee Purple & Mortgage Lifter tomatoes......wish my San Mazano's were ripe enough.....damn it's really good.

wow, looks awesome!

One question-why add the granulated garlic instead of using more fresh garlic?

With all the different tomato's of varying colors it wasn't going to be a traditional red in color.

Just a little olive oil sheen on top & wasn't greasy at all.

If you are familiar with the Brucioloni they serve at Mandina's on Canal in NOLA, do you have any idea how to recreate the taste of that sauce?

I recently read a blog about caramelizing the tomato sauce by baking at 300 deg for 6 hours. That didn't do it, so I cooked it an additional 5 hours at 350 with country style pork ribs and mild Italian sausage slices added in. It was pretty good, but even that didn't recreate that rich taste. I used Cento whole tomatoes, but not their San Marzano variety.

So, if you know, could you please tell me, how is it done?

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I'm looking for. There is a special rich flavor that I've tasted about 3 or 4 times in my life. It is totally awesome red sauce.

You gotta use some good tomato paste and cook it down a long time (until almost brown in color) in olive oil with your seasoning vegetables before adding anymore liquid or crushed tomatoes. I think that's what you're looking for.

I've always added some anchovie paste to mine. That might help stadium rat out a little.
