(Salsa de Jitomate para Tortas)
Category: Cooking Sauces
Makes about 2 cups
This simple mild tomato sauce is used for tortas (sandwiches) called ahogadas, such as Pork Sandwiches with Tomato Sauce (see Appetizers and Snacks), and can also be added to soups or some casseroles. The sauce freezes well and it's handy to have a container or two in the freezer.
1 pound plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped onions
1 clove garlic (medium), finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
Put the tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, and ¼cup water in a blender and blend until smooth. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the tomato mixture gently to the hot oil (to minimize splattering), and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring frequently, about 12 minutes, or until the onion no longer tastes raw. The sauce is ready to use, or cover and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
