Similar to Tomato Sauce with Pasta and Veggies
Checking the contents of the fridge, and since I haven’t made a soup type meal in a while, It would be a good idea to start with a vegetable based soup/sauce to use during the week. So I started dicing to a small, about 1/4 inch dice…..
green bell pepper, celery, onions, red bell pepper, mushroom, under the knife, (I peel the onion after slicing). You can geek it up and arrange the diced veggies on a plate like a pie graph. (Learning to use the camera on a mini tripod and setting the timer to take the picture.)
Close up view, isn’t digital photography wonderful ! Theirs no lack of film ! Instant gratification!
I chose the stainless steel fry pan with about 2 tablespoons butter. The pan is hot but once the veggies are going turn down to a simmer just to soften as they will later cook in the sauce.
Started the base with frozen stock and there was about 1/2 can of tomatoes in the fridge, added, and set to a simmer.
While everything’s percolating along, empty the dishwasher, gotta get my exercise!
Added the sautéed veggies to the pot, I shaved about 1/2 of a frozen hot Italian sausage and diced for a bit of flavor. I don’t want to add any other meat to keep this sauce as flexible as possible for future use, lets say with chicken, sausage, beans or compliment with pasta or on a pizza shell . Hmmm over morning eggs would be great too. Just some crusty bread would be good right about now.
Are you ready for this ! How could I forget garlic!
The final product, like they say you should be here to smell this.
I sweetened it with some simple syrup, then salt and pepper, a bit of herbs and a pinch of spices, just a dash of a dry rub.
It’s somewhat on the thin side but could be simmered down depending on it’s use. Would make a hearty stew don’tcha think?
pass this along my friend....
