tomatoes

Found a easy tomato pasta sauce and salsa recipe.

Heat 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil with 1 tbsp minced garlic.  Add 3lbs coarsely chopped plum tomatoes, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 mins.  Season with salt to taste.  marthastewart.com/recipe/simple-tomato-sauce 

In a food processor, pulse 1/2 small chopped yellow onion, 1 small chopped garlic clove, and 1 small chopped jalapeno.  Roughly chop 1 1/2 lbs cored plum tomatoes and add 2/3 of it to food processor.  Pulse until chopped.  Transfer to a bowl.  Then pulse remaining 1/3 tomato until liquefied.  Add to bowl with 1 tsp white vinegar, 2 tsp chopped oregano, and 3/4 tsp coarse salt.  Stir to combine. wholeliving.com
