How to make Pizza Sauce | Easy Tomato Pizza Sauce Recipe | Quick & Easy Italian Pizza Sauce with step by step pics.


Hello Friends,

Making pizza sauce at home is very satisfying for me as not only simple and easy to make but also taste much better than the store bought stuff. I strongly suggest you to give it a try. Sharing recipe with step by step pics.


 

The USP of today's recipe is that it is created from scratch. Usually, pizza sauce recipes are made from store bought tomato paste or tomato sauce. But this is prepared from very fresh, red and juicy tomatoes.



The action plan for today's recipe is blanching of tomatoes followed by pureeing and then cooking it on slow flame with garlic, onion, basil leaves and flavored it with Italian seasoning and chilli flakes.


☑Let's get started 


Recipe details

♨Cooking time 25-30 minutes.

✔5-6 medium tomatoes
✔A handful of fresh basil leaves
✔One medium onion
✔5-6 garlic cloves
✔3-4 tsp mixed Italian seasoning

Onion - peeled and roughly chopped.

Basil leaves - washed and roughly chopped.




Tomatoes - Follow blanching process - Put a small cross at the bottom end of the tomatoes - put them into a vessel of boiling water - cook for 5-7 minutes on medium to high flame - turn off the heat - immediately remove the blanched tomatoes and place them in cold water. Drain the water, peel the tomato skin and discard. Roughly chop - put them in blender and puree it. Keep it aside until called for.











♨ Step 2 Cooking Time - Sauce preparation


◾In a saucepan, melt butter with oil. Add garlic and saute until raw smell goes off.



◾Add onions and saute until soft and translucent.



◾Add tomato puree and basil leaves and stir fry on high flame for 3-5 minutes.




◾Add Italian seasoning, kashmiri red chilli powder, black peppercorn, red chilli flakes, sugar and salt to taste. Mix it all well and cook it on slow flame for 15-20 minutes until sauce thickens.





◾Lastly add tomato ketchup and citric acid crystals, mix it well and switch off the gas stove. Our sauce is ready.






◾Cool, then remove it in an air tight glass container.



◾Just put it in the refrigerator. Use as and when required.
