Sunday Gravy

[billeau2]

The garlic melted

i used an entire 1 lb bag of peeled whole garlic and I wish I put more

Just so much sauce

Next time I'll double it up


I used canned imported san marzanos

The tomato paste was just to add a lil bit more flavor

I sauted the tomato paste after the onions and garlic was done

Then I added a little water and the wine I used to deglaze the pan

I made sure the tomato paste was thoroughly cook

I dont know why it has to be cooked before adding the tomatoes but thats what I found out when I did the research on Sunday gravy recipes

I gave you some feedback on the other thread that might help with the Garlic and steak. I know how it feels to be a perfectionist lol... You can find more pungent garlic, it just takes a lot to prepare cause the cloves are smaller... and hard to find not grown in China! But you have lots of great Asian Markets around you. Elephant Garlic is sweet and mild... If I was making an Adobo, or serving garlic and white vinegar I would probably try to find stronger garlic, or use granulated garlic.

Tomato paste is essentially a bit like ketchup in that the sugar added to it, and (in the case of the paste, not ketchup) the concentrate/absence of water, give it a dull flavor profile. When you cook it in oil, you carmelize the sugars, and cook the tomato pulp, giving it sharper flavors, the concentrate in the product becomes more pronounced. Mostly carmelizing the sugars is the reason for the cooking.

Now ONE important thing: Tubed tomato paste is a little bit more of a refined product. You still cook it down, some of us do at least... but do so a little more carefully, as it has already been balanced more than the stuff you buy in the cans. Both are fine...I would just always cook down hard, really carmelize the sugars in the canned stuff.
