as promised, i will be sharing recipes from Chef Margarita Fores of CIBO, the ones she taught in her cooking workshop last April 2 in Eastwood Mall.
what i will be sharing with you is one of the five basic sauces from which you can create a wide assortment of healthy dishes.
this first basic sauce is called POMODORI CRUDI MARINATI. in english, it's simply raw marinated tomatoes. this serves 8 to 10 people.
ingredients:
1.5kg tomatoes, cubed (very ripe local kamatis will do)
5 to 7 cloves or 20g thinly sliced garlic
250 to 375ml or 1.5c extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch sweet basil, torn (leave some springs for garnish)
sea salt to taste
black pepper, freshly ground
peperoncini aka chili flakes (sun-dried siling labuyo will do)
optional:
capers
olives
sun-dried tomatoes
procedure:
in a bowl, marinate cubed tomatoes in olive oil, adding the slivered garlic, and seasoning with rock salt and freshly ground black pepper.
add peperoncini and fresh basil, and let stand for a minimun of 30 minutes. set aside. chill if to be used the next day.
if this sauce won't be used immediately, you can stock it in the freezer for two weeks.
wait for the next recipes from CIBO by Chef Gaita. there are still four more basic sauces and a full-course meal recipes to come.
