Serves 2
| 5 truss tomatoes, skinned, diced, & crushed |
|
2 tbsp tomato paste |
| large handful of oregano |
|
large handful marjoram |
| small handful parsley |
|
small handful basil |
| small package pine nuts |
|
½ c. button mushrooms, diced |
| 1 medium onion, quartered |
|
salt |
| pepper |
|
1 c. vegetable stock or broth |
1. Slit the skins on the tomatoes & put them in boiling water for a minute to get the skins off. Once skinned, put them in the blender to crush them. Add tomato paste to thicken it. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse the onion, herbs, & pine nuts until neatly smooth.
3. In a nonstick pan, cook the mushrooms & onion/herb mixture with a bit of vegetable stock until translucent, then add the tomatoes. Cook for about 1 hour on a very low simmer until reduced by about ¼.
Chef’s Note: When serving I add a chicken breast with all fat removed, thinly sliced & dry grilled, & some heart healthy bacon dry grilled.
