Okay so this is a long time coming, Ninjago fandom today I'm your mom
How to cook
Today's item is a plain tomato sauce that can be used as base for any dish it stores well in the fridge or freezer which makes it good for meal prepping (which trust me makes your life easy and helps save you money on food)
Roma tomatoes were on sale at a local market for $0.69/lb so I just grabbed a bunch
You can use any tomatoes for sauce but there are tomatoes (like romas) grown specifically for sauce
You will want to take a *sharp knife* and score/cut an x into the top of the tomato (where it would've been attached to the stem)
I don't know why you do the top of the tomato that's just how my mom taught me. I don't do everything the way she taught me though so feel free to experiment. (She cores her tomatoes and takes the skins out after they have boiled down if you would like to try that method)
I put the tomatoes in a crock pot on low with some water but you can put them in a pot on the stove on low and it will actually save you more dishes later
As you can see in the pictures below its not a ton of water and doesn't cover half the tomatoes
I'm actively cooking these and there is a limit of how many pictures you can put on a post so I will add more in reblog when it's time
.
*a sharp knife is safer because it requires less force which means the knife is less likely to slide and cut you its also safe because if you do cut yourself it will be a cleaner cut which has an easier time healing
