3. Tomato Sauce from Fresh Tomatoes make Yourself

For the tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes, I would like to introduce you to two preparation options:

First, I prepare a classic tomato sauce directly in the pot, second, I show my refined variant of preparation in the oven.

If you want to skin and peel the tomatoes , there is the corresponding cooking wiki.

4. Prepare Tomato Sauce from Fresh Tomatoes in the Pot

You can prepare the tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes quite quickly in the pot:

Next, I’ll show you another method of preparation that offers a great taste experience.

When it comes to herbs, marjoram, oregano, basil and thyme go well. This is the classic way of preparation like in Italy.

5. Tomato Sauce Made from Fresh Tomatoes in the Oven

To do this, place the washed tomatoes in a bowl, season with salt, pepper, brown sugar and olive oil.

As far as prepared, the tomatoes go into the oven for 35 minutes at 200°C hot air.

The following pictures show this step by step:

The tomatoes cook very evenly in the oven, the sugar can slowly caramelize and the tasty result looks like this:

Oven cooked tomatoes for tomato sauce.
Tomatoes cooked and caramelized in the oven serve as the basis for our fantastic tomato sauce!

The taste of the resulting tomato stock is a real hit, I always save a few tomatoes for decoration.

You can skin the tomatoes now or leave the skin on, mix them and partly serve them whole and partly pressed into small pieces with the resulting stock for the pasta or prepare them fresh again.

To prepare freshly, take a diced onion, one or two cloves of garlic and a little olive oil.

Sauté the onions and garlic in a saucepan until colourless, after 3-4 minutes deglaze with about 80 ml of dry white wine or Prosecco.

Then add the tomatoes cooked in the oven with the stock and simmer gently for 15 minutes.

By the way, I also cook the stalks and the tomato stalks, they contain a lot of tomato flavor,
I like doing the work here and then fish them out of the tomato sauce before serving.

  • Hi Thomas,

    This is a very tasty recipe. Great Easy and Tasty.

    Was a little surprised at first because of the stalks, but in the end I made it as in the recipe. Fishing out was worth it.

    Since I cleared the greenhouse, I had a lot of tomatoes and immediately cooked them in advance and filled them in jars.

    I'm already looking forward to the next meal with tomato sauce.

    Thanks for the great recipe.

  • Dear Thomas,

    It always seems like a "shot"

    to find these delicious recipes using freshly bought or picked tomatoes.

    I haven't made my own tomato sauce for years – and now this deliciousness from the oven! Many thanks for that.

  • Hello Thomas.

    I have a lot of garden tomatoes at the moment and I would like to cover them.

    Do you have a hint for me?

    Is it better to do this in a pot or in the oven?

    • Hello Mat,

      🙂 nice to read from you, thank you for your cooking question, here is my feedback, a bit late:

      For large quantities, I would cook both on the stove and in the oven and put the sauces in separate glasses.

      So there is a pleasant change.

      Tip: You could also freeze the oven tomatoes with the juice and prepare a variant.

      It has proven useful to let the tomatoes cool on the tray, then fill them in bags and freeze them flat.

      Defrosting is then faster! Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy redesigning the website.

      But everything is now faster, clearer and at the top of the header you will find a black mode (circle).

      🙂 Night Mode 🙂

      Thomas Sixt sends you lots of fun and good luck

  • Hello Thomas Sixt,

    here is my cooking question about the sauce with tomatoes:

    Can you use something non-alcoholic instead of white wine?

    Kind regards Susan

    Reply

    • Hello Susan,

      My recommendation: just leave out the wine.

      Experiments with substitute products were not convincing for me. Red wine can be replaced with berry syrup, I would be careful with the tomato sauce because it distorts the taste.

      Leaving it out is a better option, balance it out with some chicken broth (sweet taste) or vegetable broth (vegetarian/vegan).

      Good luck! Kind regards Thomas
