- 7 ounces (200ml) Crème Fraîche
(soured cream)
- 1 small can tomatoes (about 1 pound
or 400g)
- 2 ounces (50g) butter
- 2 ounces (70ml) tomato paste (also
known as tomato concentrate)
- Pepper (small amount, to taste)
Recipe:
• Put all the ingredients into a pot. Do NOT drain the tomatoes;
add the entire can (juice and all) to the pot.
• Warm over medium heat, while stirring the ingredients
together. If the tomatoes are whole tomatoes rather than
chopped tomatoes, break them up into smaller pieces as you
stir.
• The sauce is ready once the ingredients are mixed and warm
Notes:
This is a quick recipe shown to me by a French friend. At first I wasn't going to post
it as it uses canned rather than fresh ingredients. However, it does taste quite good
and is ready in 10 minutes, so I'll make an exception and include it. After all, even
gourmets like a quick and easy meal once and a while.
This sauce could be used with a variety of main dishes. For example, stuffed
peppers or spaghetti in tomato sauce.
Normally my recipes call for pepper and salt. However, as this recipe is using
canned ingredients, which normally have salt already added, adding additional salt
may be too much.
