Recipe Introduction

Here's a great way to use up all those tomatoes from your garden.

List of Ingredients

1/2 cup Master Choice Extra Virgin olive oil
1/2 stick America's Choice unsalted butter
1 cup minced onion
1 cup minced celery
1/2 cup minced carrots
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 pounds fresh tomatoes
1 T. chopped basil
2 T. chopped parsely
1 T. chopped oregano




Recipe

Melt butter with olive oil in large stock pot. Stir in onions, celery, carrot and garlic and saute until tender.

Meanwhile, using a large pot of boiling water, score an "x" on the bottom of each tomato, drop them into the hot water for 30 seconds, remove and run over cold water. The "x" should help you peel the tomatoes very easily now. Slice all the tomatoes in half and remove seeds with a spoon. Add tomatoes to veggies saute.

Cook over medium-low heat for a solid hour, occationally breaking the tomatoes down with a utensil (but they should break down on their own).

Stir in fresh herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
