Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 leaves Fresh Basil (Optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and core the tomatoes. Cut them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Stir in the red chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Add the chopped tomatoes, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and water to the pan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for 5-10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring to a countertop blender), puree the sauce until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more honey for sweetness or chili flakes for heat.
Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh basil if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
