So your friendly neighborhood farm gave you one too many cherry tomatoes and you are tired of eating everything with cherry tomatoes? Having that many that they start going bad and don't fell like throwing them out?
Throw them in the food processor instead! Add some red and green peppers, onion, garlic, spices and cook.
Put in a jar while still hot and store in the fridge, preferably. Since you haven't used any preservatives and haven't taken out the seeds off the tomatoes, it will most likely ferment. To be on the safe side store in the fridge. Use when you need a delicious tomato sauce. This will definitely make your next dinner faster to cook. Done and done! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of cherry tomatoes
- 2 red peppers
- 1 green pepper
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- thyme, salt, pepper, paprika, hot pepper
- 1 hot pepper if you like a punch
- 2 tbsp canola oil

| From 4 cups of processed tomatoes you get this much sauce. If you want more than this, increase quantities. |
Throw your tomatoes in a food processor. Process peppers separately from tomatoes, different consistencies. Use processor for onion and garlic as well, it will be fast and tearless.
Put oil in a sauce pan, cook onion and garlic together until soft, add the rest of the veggies and thyme in and cook to medium heat. Cover with lid, stir from time time. Add salt pepper paprika and any other spices you feel like adding. Add a hot pepper, turmeric or curry powder. Make it Indian, why not?
Be creative! It will be a great sauce if you add a sprinkle of passion too.
Have fun with it!
