Got overripe or rotten tomatoes?
And you don't know what to do with it?
It's true that sometimes we forget them in the fridge and they spoil quickly...
But it would be a shame to throw them away given the price of tomatoes!
Fortunately, there is a simple trick to using them and avoiding food waste.
The trick is to make a delicious homemade tomato coulis . Look, it's quite simple:
- overripe tomatoes
- pan
- basil
- olive oil
- fine herbs
- salt, pepper
- glass jar
1. Pass the tomatoes under water.
2. Remove the tail and rotten parts.
3. Cut the tomatoes in half if they are too large.
4. Place them in a saucepan.
5. Pour a glass of water into the pan.
6. Add two tablespoons of olive oil.
7. Season to taste with salt, pepper, herbs, basil...
8. Simmer until the tomatoes have melted well.
9. Leave to cool.
10. Then, put in an airtight glass jar.
And There you go ! Your delicious tomato coulis is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and economical, right?
It's still better than throwing your overripe or rotten tomatoes in the trash!
And I can tell you that it is much better than the canned coulis that you buy in stores.
You're in for a treat!
To properly preserve your coulis, pour a drizzle of olive oil on top of the jar before replacing the lid.
Why ? Because it forms an airtight film that prevents the grout from molding.
Our grandmothers kept all their sauces this way.
Personally, I put the coulis in several small glass jars. Thus, I open them as and when I need them and I avoid waste.
You can use this tomato coulis with pasta, on a margherita pizza, in a sauce for a roast veal or to make homemade ketchup for example.
