Making fresh tomato sauce with a cheese grater

LoreD · August 22, 2016

Really cool method for removing the skin.

It might be interesting to compare this method to blanching.

Personally, I think it must be awfully sloppy.

I can see myself cutting my hand open. I can hardly be trusted to open a box or grate ginger.

That would be different. I wish they had shown a picture of the cheese grater. We've been using our two "ALL in ONE PAT. PEND." cheese graters for 31 years now, and they were used when we got them.

I tried it and it worked.

I didn't slice my hand.

It was a regular box grater, and it wasn't sloppy. It all went in the bowl, and then was poured on my pasta.

dmforcier · August 23, 2016

You mean you grated fresh toms and poured on your pasta without cooking? Okay.

LoreD · August 23, 2016

Yes, it was a little different, but it tasted good.

dmforcier · August 23, 2016

Hmmpf. Worth a try I guess. Thanks for the suggestion.

Now I just need some tomatoes.

That looks good. Thanks for sharing! (:

I prefer uncooked salsa.

Did you heat the sauce? If so, how long?

Looks pretty cool and effective to me. I bet after adding garlic, onions, mushrooms, basil, S&P and some Italian seasoning and simmering it for an hour to reduce the water it would be really good. I am definately going to try this when I get tomatoes.
