Simple Tomato Sauce

This is from Alice Waters’s Art of Simple Food.

Peel, seed, and dice: 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes

Save the juice, strain out the seeds, and add the juice to the diced tomatoes.

Peel: 5 large garlic cloves

Smash them and chop coarse.

Put a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and when hot, pour in: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Add the garlic and when it starts to sizzle, immediately add the tomatoes and their juice with a large pinch of: salt

Cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.

Summer forever.
