Fresh Tomato & Basil Sauce
- 2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped tomato**
- 3 tablespoons minced, fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
- Several dashes of cayenne pepper
- In a blender, puree the garlic and tomato. Transfer mixture to a non-metal bowl.
- Stir in the basil, oil, salt and cayenne.
Serve the sauce at room temperature. Traditionally used for pasta, it is also delicious on rice or bulgar, spooned over cold steamed vegetables or even served over tuna or cold chicken
**TIP: Try cutting tomatoes in half and grating them. This way you don't even have to puree them.
