Tomato Piri Piri Sauce
INGREDIENTS
250 ml olive oil
3 ripe tomatoes, sliced
50g butter
a generous 1/2 tsp salt
large pinch of sugar
6 dried piri piri chillies (or to taste), finely chopped (or pulsed in a processor)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped (or pulsed in a processor)
METHOD
Heat the oil in a smallish heavy-based pan. Add the tomatoes and butter and simmer for about 25 mins. Add the salt, sugar, piri piris and garlic and cook for another 5- 10 mins. Remove from the heat and puree roughly with a hand-held blender or food processor. If you like your sauce hotter, add a pinch or so of ground piri piri.
Pour into a sterilised jar, if you’re not using immediately, and keep the surface covered with a layer of oil. Keep in the fridge and warm up or bring to room temperature to serve. This will keep for up to a month. Makes about 435ml.
