I bet some people put olives in tomato sauce
And those people would be wrong.
Don't lie, you know you were going to start the great Tomato Sauce War of 2022.
Anti-basil people—gather under my banner! Together we shall bring garlic to its rightful place on the flavor throne.
I have put chopped black olives in spaghetti-lasagne sauce, back in the days when I could eat tomatoes and live. Mix 'em in with the mushrooms, nobody will ever notice.
Teppy, that is way too much. You deserve all the naps, and a smoother road from here. Sending 'all be well' thoughts for you and your family.
I bet some people put olives in tomato sauce
I do. Couple of dishes require them but really I may toss olives in anywhere. They are a Mediterranean staple!
Here to take up the anti-mushroom mantle.
It's probably a good thing that I generally don't share my pizza with anyone and can get all the olives and mushrooms I like.
That Marcella Hazan tomato sauce is the way and the light. I need to make that again.
I am so glad that your brother is around to reset his recovery clock, Tep. Please do whatever you need to keep yourself and Tim moving forward.
2022 is effing brutal. So many people dipping into negative numbers and experiencing places they'd never gone before.
I've put olives in the sauce because of olive love, and right, Mediterranean! Mushrooms are not in my sauce as I tend to prefer them fresh and not overcooked. On pizza they are fine because not cooked a lot. Garlic is always an excellent plan, in abundance, except probably not in ice cream, but almost always.
Tonight is snapper and roasted cauliflower. DH brought home both purple and white cauliflower because he said I wasn't specific in my list and he thought mixed they would be pretty. No sauce, or mushrooms, or olives. There will be garlic!
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry life has been rough, Steph.
As for tomato sauce, I think my mom had a recipe she used occasionally. Dunno if I have it or not. (It would probably need tweaking- I suspect there isn't enough garlic in it.)
